iOS 12 has a very interesting secret feature revealed today thanks to those who have the opportunity to test the new operating system for iOS application development. In the video clip below you can see how iOS 12 allows us to control application interfaces using only our eyes, something that was not possible in any way until now.
iOS 12 has been implemented by the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), a system that allows the creation of Memoji, i.e. animated and personalized emojis according to our preferences. This new function for iOS 12 also allows the recording of animated messages to send to friends, and now eye movements are tracked during the creation process.

iOS 12 can now not only track eye movements to create Memoji and send videos of what we are doing, but can also allow control of application interfaces. Of course, Apple has not natively implemented this functionality in its applications, but developers can do it for third-party applications in the App Store.
iOS 12 will be released in the fall of this year by Apple, and until then application developers have enough time to implement this functionality. Of course, it is difficult to say who will offer it for users, but it is good to know that it exists and that it can substantially improve the user experience this year.
