Eye tracking in iOS with truedepth camera.

Hello,

I want to take a request to Apple but I don´t know how to get to them, really hope someone can help me.

My mom has ALS, she is not able to talk anymore, but she can use a little bit her arms and hands, so she communicates with us with her iPhone or iPad. The problem is that is only a matter of time, and not much, that she will lose all mobility capacities. All the devices that use eye tracking technology are quite expensive, and only one can be used with iOS devices. I know that Apple has already an API to use his true depth camera for eyetracking, there is some little apps that are using it, but you can´t do much with them. So I was wondering if Apple is planning to add as a option in iOS to control it with eye movement (Windows 10 has one already). Maybe will be to late for my mom, but will be nice that people with this terrible disease and otherS that are quite as bad could just buy an iPad and a tripod and communicate with their loved ones instead of having to buy other sistems that are worth thousands of dollars. It is already a really expensive disease, more thatn 40.000$ a year just to cover the basic needs, and be able to communicate wiht others is the most powerful force to keep them going with their lives.


Thank you for your help.
