AssistiveTouch is being added to WatchOS to assist people with upper body limb discrepancies. The function detects small changes in muscle activity and allows users to control a cursor on the screen using hand signals such as clench or squeeze.

As a result, users can conveniently address incoming calls, monitor an onscreen cursor, and do other things right from their Apple Watch.

This is one of the most useful usability capabilities I’ve seen on a wearable device. Check out this guide on how to use usability shortcuts on the Apple Watch if you choose to use those features.

Thanks to support for third-party eye-tracking technology, iPadOS can enable users to monitor their iPad with their eyes. As a result, compliant MFi systems will now monitor the person’s eye motions and adjust the pointer accordingly. In the meantime, prolonged eye contact can result in acts such as a touch.

VoiceOver Upgrade And Audiogram Support

Apple is updating the screen reader VoiceOver with new features. This involves additional information about humans, text, table data, and other items included within photographs.

Users will manipulate images like a table by row and column, and the function can also define a person’s location in relation to other objects in the image.

Headphone Accommodations would also get assistance for understanding audiograms from the Cupertino behemoth. According to Apple, users can access their most recent hearing test findings by importing paper or PDF audiograms.

New background tones, sound movements for Switch power, display and text size configurations, and inclusive Memoji customization for consumers with oxygen tubing, cochlear implants, and a soft helmet for headwear are now on the way to Apple computers.
