Apple wants you to check your iPhone with your mind
Apple’s accessibility functions will be really surprising from iOS 19!
Apple’s effort to produce functions that encouraged accessibility in their devices, has achieved more and more amazing results with the ability to help with less thinking and the ability to advance a seemingly seeming future. Beyond new functions such as food labels in the App Store and a magnifier developed for Mac, Cupertino Company is investigating a revolutionary feature: The ability to control their devices directly with the mind, including the iPhone.
The ambitious initiative that emerged in a recent report of The Wall Street Journal, It focuses on Apple’s cooperation with Synchron Company and the Sentrode Cebro-Bilgisayar Interface Technology (BCI).To be an important step to produce options for disabled people and potentially for all future users.
Some users can control the iPhone without moving
The device that performs this cooperation is Sentrot. The innovative system is similar to a stent, a minimally invasive implanted in a vein close to the engine cortex of the brain. Equipped with electrodes, It is capable of reading brain signals and transmitting them to a computer. Since 2019, Sentrot has been implemented in ten people and showed their viability and potential.
A few months ago, a patient with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ELA), which was applied with Synchron’s stentrrot, checked an Apple Vision Pro using only his thoughts. Undoubtedly, this progress shows the possibilities of improveing many people’s quality of life.
Synchron’s technology is still in early development stages and Provides limitations such as the difficulty of imitating the precise movement of the cursorCooperation with Apple represents a significant progress in the field of brain holding interfaces.
As another step towards the integration of these technologies, Apple plans to expand the compatibility with BCI through a new protocol compatible with button control to be included in iOS 19 and Vision 3.This is planned for autumn. This will allow users with BCI to control their devices without the need for physical movements.
In addition to progress in mental control, iOS 19 will also bring significant developments for people with ELA who risk losing speaking. Therefore, the personal sound function introduced in iOS 17, which allows users to create a digital sound similar to 150 sentence recording, will be simplified at iOS 19.
Apple’s vision goes beyond traditional accessibility functions by investigating a future in which technology really adapts to individual needs. And every time, These benefits are more likely to extend to a wider audience.Retecting our way of interaction with technology.
