You could soon use your Mac, iPad and iPhone with your eyes

Apple has been doing wonders with the operating systems for long and a new update states that the tech giant could introduce a wow-factor into the existing devices.

According to a report on Macrumors, Apple Insider mentioned that Apple has just been granted a patent for eye-tracking. This feature states that the new eye-tracking technology will be used into the operating systems of both the desktop and mobile platforms from Apple.

The eye-tracking technology will be used for controlling the user interface of a smartphone and / or computer, possibly pushing the mouse or touchscreen as a pointing device into a device of the past.

The patent states that the Apple devices, that include the front camera, can now be controlled by eye movements itself. The front camera will track eye movements and translate them into the movement of the cursor on the screen or display. Implementing this technology into existing computers and mobile devices could help mature the technology, only to be implemented into self-driving vehicles for the future.  

As far as for the technology, it does not look like Apple will be putting the feature into their products anytime soon, but it does go to show the extent of how the company glimpses into the future of technology.
