User reviews

States incompatible when not

On my device - an iPad 6th generation - on opening the app it states device not supported as it doesn’t support ARKit, however it does.

Never could calibrate

Could never get it to accurately calibrate

So cool!

This definitely has the potential to change people’s lives. I’m really impressed that this kind of thing can work on an iPad. I understand that this is an early version, but I’m curious to see how the app and the features evolve over time. Cool idea!

Une application ingénieuse

Une image vaut mille mots! Cette application redonne la parole à ceux qui en ont perdu l’usage grâce aux mouvements des yeux. En plus, elle est très accessible.
