How to make the cursor invisible?

Thanks to Auto-Hide you can type faster on Keybard or make your cursor invisible so it doesn't distract you during reading or watching videos. Find more:

It is necessary to have the iPad updated to iPadOS 17 and have Hiru correctly connected.

The amount of time you set in Auto-Hide is the time you must dwell on one point for the cursor to appear. This time is added before the dwell time. 

How does it look in reality?

Set up dwell time for 0.75 s. Set up Auto-Hide time for 0.3 s.

Dwell on a clickable icon, and after 0.3 seconds you will see the cursor (or the frame of the Snap to Item function if Snap is on) and after another 0.75 seconds, it will click on the icon.

See the video on how to read without any distractions, where Auto-Hide time is set up for 1 s:
