Hi cdemartin

welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community.

Re: "Pausing the dwell feature"


After you set up accessibility features, you can quickly turn them on or off

Eg: Use Siri to turn on an accessibility feature

Say something like: “Turn on VoiceOver.” See Find out what Siri can do on Apple Vision Pro.

or

Use Control Center

You can also add certain accessibility features to Control Center and then activate them from there.

  1. Go to Settings  > Control Center, then tap  next to the accessibility features you use the most.
  2. To activate the feature from Control Center, open Control Center, then tap the control.

The article: Use Dwell Control on Apple Vision Pro - Apple Support

says:

 Dwell Control lets you interact with controls when you keep your eyes on them for a selected amount of time.

  1. Go to Settings  > Accessibility > Interaction > AssistiveTouch, then turn on Dwell Control.
  2. Adjust any of the following:
    • Target: Change whether Dwell follows the trackpad or system pointer.
    • Movement Tolerance: Adjust the distance the cursor can move while dwelling on an item.
    • Time needed to initiate a dwell actionTap  or .
    • Highlight Control: Turn on to show an outline around the control that will be pressed after the dwell timer elapses.
