“For users with severe mobility disabilities, iOS, iPadOS, and visionOS will add a new protocol to support Switch Control for Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs), an emerging technology that allows users to control their device without physical movement.”

Interesting and so glad this is coming to help those that can use it (could be everyone for all of these features).

Curious which BCIs will be supported & used by the community?

Apple’s accessibility team is incredible. 👏

My favorite new improvement; something I’ve always wanted built into a spatial computer; visionOS will have zoom; not only for virtual content but the real world surroundings too.

+ “Live Recognition in visionOS uses on-device machine learning to describe surroundings, find objects, read documents, and more.” exists on iOS/iPadOS, now coming to visionOS.

@thedextriarchy oh my god Adi. Super relevant and great conversation. Specifically on cultural relevancy vs monetary incentives and viewing copyright differently.

@thedextriarchy I just realized and put on the latest Vergecast with you on about the Internet Archive. Coincidence but related.
