Users can complete the setup and calibration of the front camera in just a few seconds. At the same time, thanks to the machine learning technology on the device, all settings and control data related to this function will be safely stored locally on the device and will not be shared with Apple.

Users can use eye movements to navigate through various elements in the app and use dwell controls to activate them. This means users can perform physical buttons, swipes, and other gestures using just their eyes.
