In the press release this morning, Apple announced its set of new accessibility functions on the iPhone. This includes access to accessibility in the App Store, the new Magnifier application for Mac and much more.
The new report from The Wall Street Journal (Apple News+ Link) today delves into another breakthrough of access to Apple, which develops Apple: the ability to control your iPhone using your brain.
according to the report, Apple is working on this technology, so the third parties can use it. The report specifically draws attention to Synchron, a company developing a device called Stentrode. Stentrod is a device similar to a stent that is implanted in a vein on the motor cortex of the brain ” with electrodes that read brain signals. Since 2019, Stentrod has been implanted in 10 people.
Thanks to his work, Apple develops methods for computer interfaces (BCIS) to convert these brain signals into the ability to choose, control and manipulate iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Pro interfaces. BCI synchron is implanted into the motor cortex of the brain, in particular on the surface of the blood vessel, using the minimum invasive endovascular procedure, which includes the insertion of the catheter through the cell vein. ALS to interact with your devices.
Mark Jackson, the early tester of the wall of the wall, was able to look through the ledge of the mountains in the Swiss Alps and to feel his legs trembling. Jackson cannot get up, and he was not in Switzerland. He was wearing a headset with Apple's virtual reality, which was associated with his implant. Nevertheless, he studies how to control his headset iPhone, iPad and Vision Pro thanks to the connection between his wall -trode implant and various Apple operating systems.
According to Jackson, Synchron “ technology; Still at the beginning of development ” And there are no key functions. For example, there is no support for simulating the movement of the cursor, a restriction that makes navigation much slower. Within the framework of iOS 19 and Visionos 3 this fall, Apple will add wider BCIS support with a new protocol to support the control of the switch. This will allow users with BCIS to control their devices without physical movement. Within the framework of iOS 17 in 2023, Apple debuted in her function of a revolutionary personal voice to allow users to create and preserve a voice that sounds like they. The first version of the personal voice required users to speak 150 different phrases for teaching the Apple machine learning model. Then the voice was processed during the night.
with iOS 19 Apple significantly optimizes this process. Now, users will need to record only 10 different phrases and process them in less than a minute, and not in a few hours during the night. Apple says that the result is also more smooth and more natural.
