# One-time set-up

## Check these settings before working with eye gaze to ensure your iPad is ready! You'll only set these once. Your settings will be saved.

Explore more about one-time settings: Large Icons, Movement tolerance, Control Center, Motion Reduction, and Pointer Animation.

### **Turn off Apple's Eyetracking in iPad Settings**

Go to Settings \> Accessibility \>Eye Tracking\>OFF

### **Lock the iPad in landscape orientation by tapping the lock icon in the Control Center![Orientation Lock-1](https://knowledge.irisbond.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Orientation%20Lock-1.png?width=51&height=50&name=Orientation%20Lock-1.png)**

Swipe down from the top-right corner of the screen

### **Activate the "Always Show Menu" feature**

Go to Settings  \> Accessibility \> Touch \> AssistiveTouch \> Always Show Menu \> ON

### **Use Large App Icons: ON ![Large icons](https://knowledge.irisbond.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Feb-21-2024-04-04-47-9530-PM.png?width=59&height=59&name=image-png-Feb-21-2024-04-04-47-9530-PM.png)**

This makes the icons larger, making selection easier.

Go to Settings \> Home Screen & App Library \> Use Large App Icons

### **Movement Tolerance![Movement Tolerance](https://knowledge.irisbond.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Feb-27-2024-03-01-39-4472-PM.png?width=72&height=62&name=image-png-Feb-27-2024-03-01-39-4472-PM.png)**

The movement tolerance setting determines the amount of movement the pointer can have before re-starting the dwell time. A larger area will be more forgiving, and is more appropriate to work with larger icons. For high precision, lower this setting.

Go to Settings \> Accessibility \> Touch \> Assistive Touch

Scroll down to Dwell Control area and select “Movement Tolerance” to adjust the distance the cursor can move while dwelling

### **Turn off access to Control Center in Apps![Control Centre](https://knowledge.irisbond.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Feb-21-2024-04-05-46-5344-PM.png?width=67&height=62&name=image-png-Feb-21-2024-04-05-46-5344-PM.png)**

To avoid any disruptions when using apps and accessing Hot Corners located in the top right corner, you can disable the Control Center.

Go to Settings  \> Control Center  \> Turn off Access Within Apps

### **Motion Reduction: ON ![Motion Reduction](https://knowledge.irisbond.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Feb-21-2024-04-06-03-8123-PM.png?width=68&height=68&name=image-png-Feb-21-2024-04-06-03-8123-PM.png)**

This feature prevents icons from moving when you are looking at them, providing a more stable and comfortable eyegaze experience.

### **Pointer Animation: OFF** ![Pointer animations](https://knowledge.irisbond.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Feb-21-2024-03-59-40-3556-PM.png?width=62&height=66&name=image-png-Feb-21-2024-03-59-40-3556-PM.png)

Pointer animations give extra movement to the pointer, something that should be avoided when using eye-gaze. 

Turn this off.
