You can control iPad using just your eyes with an MFi eye-tracking device. It tracks where you're looking onscreen, and the pointer moves to follow your gaze. You can even perform actions—such as a tap—using extended eye contact.
Adjust iOS Settings
Tap the "Settings" app on your iPad, then tap "General," and choose "Accessibility." Here you'll see an array of options from Bold Text, Increase Contrast, Larger Type and Invert Colors. The first three are self-explanatory and can certainly help improve legibility when enabled.
An eye tracker is a device for measuring eye positions and eye movement. Eye trackers are used in research on the visual system, in psychology, in psycholinguistics, marketing, as an input device for human-computer interaction, and in product design.
Dry and irritated eyes
The eyes can also get dry and irritated during long stretches of screen use. Studies show that people of all ages blink far less often when concentrating on a screen, which in turn causes the eyes to dry out. A clear and stable tear film on the eye surface is essential for clear vision.
Use of digital screen time is linked to development of myopia in children and teenagers, also called short-sightedness or near-sightedness. Excessive digital screen time is also linked to dry eye syndrome, digital eyestrain, and poor head and neck postures which can cause pain.
The eye tracking technology is based on pupil center corneal reflection (or PCCR). This means that an infrared light source illuminates your eyes. An image sensor can then detect the reflection. Add some calibration and algorithm magic, and what you get back is the gaze bubble on your screen.
Set up an eye-tracking device
Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch, then turn on AssistiveTouch. To customize the eye-tracking device, tap Devices (below Pointer Devices), then tap the device. To perform actions using a switch (if supported by your device), tap Customize Additional Buttons.
Look at the window you want to open to highlight it, and press enter to open. Warp on Mouse Move: Move the mouse to make the pointer appear where you look. Warp on Mouse Button: Assign a hotkey on your mouse to activate warp on mouse button. Click the assigned button to make the pointer appear where you look.
DNA damage was also found. Peer reviewed studies also have found a myriad of other problems from increased headaches and sleep problems to damage to reproduction and brain development. For example, studies have found that Wi-Fi radiation damages sperm, even at very low doses.
So to answer the question in the title, you should hold the iPad mini 41cm away from your eye, and the large iPad 51cm.
Studies have shown that the short-wavelength blue light that iPad screens emit has an effect on melatonin, the sleep-inducing hormone. It's recommended that both you and your children refrain from screens at least an hour before bedtime, for the most restful sleep.
iPhone and iPad (iOS)
To activate the blue light filter on your iPhone or iPad (iOS), go to Settings > Display & Brightness > Night Shift. You can then schedule the feature for specific times of the day, or enable it until the next day, or adjust your screen's color temperature, thereby filtering out the blue light.
The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, shift the eyes to look at an object at least 20 feet away, for at least 20 seconds. Looking into the distance allows the eyes to relax. If necessary, set a timer as a reminder.
Digital eye strain is a group of related eye and vision problems caused by extended computer or digital device use. Symptoms include eye discomfort and fatigue, dry eye, blurry vision, and headaches. Uncorrected vision problems are a major cause.
Eye tracking is an effective means of seeing through the lens of your customers. But, as powerful as it is, eye trackers alone are unlikely to give you a complete insight into the content that really sticks in the users' mind.
Set up an eye-tracking device

Whilst data from the screen-based eye tracker confirmed that respondents correctly maintained their gaze on the targets (and average accuracy was 0.7 dva), the webET algorithm succeeded to calculate gaze data for 98% of the trials with moving respondents with an average offset of 7.1 dva.
TD Pilot provides native integration of eye tracking in iPadOS and has been certified to meet Apple performance standards. It enables communication and full use of iPad apps for people with disabilities, via eye control and other access methods.
Night Shift automatically adjusts the colors of your display to the warmer end of the spectrum — making the display easier on your eyes.
Phone screens, and other digital devices, generate blue light differently than natural sources. As a result, the blue light scatters more in the eye, creating more visual noise. The overstimulation leads to eye strain.
The effects of screen time can have a substantial negative impact on your kid's brain. A recent study by the National Institutes of Health showed that kids who spend more than two hours a day on screen time activities score lower on language and thinking tests.
Cybersickness is akin to motion sickness, but it happens while using electronic screens rather than through actual movement. Although symptoms like nausea and dizziness are the same, cybersickness doesn't require any actual motion.
Poor eye tracking, also called Oculomotor Dysfunction, includes eye movements from one stationary target to another (saccades) and following a moving target (pursuits). Reading involves performing multiple, rapid saccades accurately to move the eyes from word to word, a task many children find difficult.
Each time you unlock your device, the TrueDepth camera recognizes you by capturing accurate depth data and an infrared image. This information is matched against the stored mathematical representation to authenticate.
