Apple announced on Tuesday that it is bringing a number of new features later this year to make its devices more accessible, including an expanded Braille and Zoom notes for your mixed reality headset, Vision Pro.
For blind or visually impaired users, visual accessibility features will be expanded through Vision Pro.
“We are committed to moving on with new accessibility features for all our products,” said Sarah Herrlinger, Apple’s senior policy and global accessibility initiatives.
Apple will allow approved apps to access Vision Pro’s main camera to provide live assistance on visual interpretation in applications such as Be My Eyes, which connects blind or visually impaired people to volunteers and companies around the world through live video.
Vision Pro, praised by analysts for its technology, represents Apple’s entry into the headphone market, dominated by the goal.
Apple is also launching Braille Access, which transforms iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Vision Pro into a Braille notes.
With this feature, users will be able to open any app by typing on a Braille device or using Braille Screen Input – an Apple system that allows typing in Braille.
Apple’s new features also include a reading mode throughout the system designed to make text reading easier for users with disabilities such as dyslexia or low vision, the company said.
