Use Switch Control on Apple Vision Pro
After you set up Switch Control, you can use the following methods to select an item in your view:
Item scanning: The focus moves (automatically or manually) from one item to the next until you select an item; this is the default scanning method.
Point scanning: You select an item in your view by pinpointing it with scanning crosshairs.
After you select an item, you can choose an action (for example, tap, drag, or pinch) in the Scanner Menu.
Use item scanning
With item scanning, the focus sequentially moves from one item to the next item in your view.
If you use Auto Scanning, watch or listen as the focus moves. If you use Manual Scanning, trigger your Move to Next Item action to move the focus.
When the focus surrounds the item you want, trigger your Select Item switch.
In the Scanner Menu, choose an action such as the following:
Tap
Gestures
Scroll
Media Controls
More (the dots at the bottom of the menu) for more options
Home (to return to Home View)
Device (for other hardware actions)
Gliding Cursor (to use point scanning)
Head Tracking (to control the pointer with head movements)
Settings (to adjust Switch Control behavior)
The available actions in the Scanner Menu depend on the selected item.
To dismiss the Scanner menu without choosing an action, trigger your switch while the original item is highlighted and all the icons in the Scanner Menu are dimmed.
Use point scanning
With point scanning, you select an item in your view by pinpointing it with scanning crosshairs.
Use item scanning to select an item.
In the Scanner Menu, choose Gliding Cursor.
To position the vertical crosshair, do the following:
Trigger your Select Item switch when the wide vertical band is over the item you want.
Trigger your Select Item switch again when the fine vertical line is over the item.
Repeat to position the horizontal crosshair.
Choose an action from the Scanner Menu.
To return to item scanning, choose Item Mode in the Scanner Menu.
