Personalize the Assistive Touch menu

Why is the Assistive Touch menu useful and how can you customize it to suit your needs? Learn more about it here:

Assistive Touch Menu

The Assistive Touch menu is one of two tools that allow us to control the iPad entirely with our eyes. The second tool used for greater precision (calibration), Hiru firmware updates, and activities for users in the early stages, is the Hiru app.

The Assistive Touch menu is a floating on-screen menu that provides quick access to various functions and gestures, offering an alternative method for users with motor challenges to navigate and interact with their devices. Thanks to the Assistive Touch menu, actions such as scrolling, long pressing, holding and dragging, pressing the Home button, locking the screen, and much more can all be performed easily using only the power of your eyes.
