The TD Pilot from Tobii Dynavox converts iPads running iPadOS 15 into a hands-free gadget controlled by eye movements. 

For years, eye tracking has allowed people with paralysis and illnesses like cerebral palsy and ALS to connect to computers. Tobii Dynavox, a Swedish eye-tracking startup, has developed a new iPad adapter that will do the same for Apple's tablets. 

Tobii Dynavox is a subgroup of Tobii that focuses on assistive devices. Tobii also manufactures eye-tracking technology for gaming laptops, business devices, and AR-VR headsets. For years, the business has offered Windows-based assisted eye tracking solutions, but iPad compatibility is new. Looking around moves the huge circular pointer, and keeping your gaze in any location for a few minutes functions as a click to touch a button or start an app, thanks to the TD Pilot's eye-tracking technology. 

The TD Pilot makes advantage of Apple's Assistive Touch capabilities and iPadOS 15's new support for eye-tracking inputs. Eye-tracking is available in any app and on all iPad OS versions. The durable shell has enhanced speakers, cameras, infrared sensors for eye tracking, and a back display for sending messages to other people in the room. It's a prescription-only gadget that you may purchase right now. 

The gadget is compatible with a range of iPads, however, Tobii Dynavox claims that 12.9-inch iPad Pros are the most effective. The eye-tracking technology works best on panels that are 12 inches or larger, which is why Apple isn't working on a similar feature for the iPhone right now. 

This technology isn't designed for anything but in specific accessibility cases, but it's likely to be a useful alternative to the Windows eye-tracking tech that already exists.
