  • Apple announced a suite of updates for Global Disability Awareness Day. 
  • Eye Tracking will let users control their iPhones and iPads by noticing where they look.
  • There's also a new music experience for deaf and hard of hearing users.

Apple will soon let iPad and iPhone users control their devices with a glance of their eyes.

A new AI-powered feature called Eye Tracking, unveiled Wednesday, is designed for people with physical disabilities. Apple said it's coming later this year.

The feature uses the front-facing camera to set up and calibrate, though Apple notes it doesn't access or share any data.
