New accessibility feature in 10.15.4 lets you control the cursor with head movements

Science fiction, come to the Mac:

I’ve seen a few apps do similar things, but this is now baked into macOS.

Makes me think of possibilities, of future AirPods that pick up your brain’s alpha waves, let you move your cursor, or control your iOS device with your mind.

The ability to use your mind to control a mouse has been around for a long time, but requires very specialized hardware. Imagine if Apple could find a way to embed that hardware in your AirPods or, perhaps, in an AppleHat?

The future is coming.
