Control iPad with an eye-tracking device
You can control iPad using just your eyes with an MFi eye-tracking device. It tracks where you’re looking onscreen, and the pointer moves to follow your gaze. You can even perform actions—such as a tap—using extended eye contact. Some eye trackers also support input from physical switches.
Set up an eye-tracking device
Follow the device manufacturer’s instructions to connect the device to iPad using Bluetooth, the Lightning connector, the USB-C connector, or the Thunderbolt / USB 4 connector (depending on your iPad model).
Go to Settings
> Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch, then turn on AssistiveTouch.
To customize the eye-tracking device, tap Devices (below Pointer Devices), then tap the device.
To perform actions using a switch (if supported by your device), tap Customize Additional Buttons.
Do any of the following:
Change the pointer: Go to Settings > Accessibility > Pointer Control, then customize the pointer appearance.
Perform actions using extended eye contact: Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch, then turn on Dwell Control.
Complete setup using the companion app for your eye-tracking device.
