Windows 10 20H1 Preview Brings Eye Tracking Control And Your Phone Updates For Android
We mentioned a few days ago that the Windows 10 19H2 insider preview build was available and talked about it being rather boring as for as updates go. However, Microsoft has a made some changes in the latest Windows 10 preview that includes Eye Control and Your Phone improvements that are expected to be seen in a Windows update that will land in the first half of next year.
Eye Control has some new options including mouse drag-and-drop, allowing you to combine click and drags with Shift and Ctrl modifier keys. The launchpad can now be hidden by selecting the pause button and reappears when the user briefly closes their eyes or looks away from the screen. A second activation method has been introduced that allows dwell to select a target and click a button to switch. Microsoft has added an open-source Gaze Interaction Library to the Windows Community Toolkit along with updated settings to manage Eye Control features.
There have been tweaks to Your Phone bringing Notifications integration with the Windows 10 May 2019 update or newer. With those updates, you can interact with your phone screen using one-touch tap and long press. That is all the update made to Your Phone, which is still limited to support on specific devices.

- Samsung Galaxy S10e
