The feature, expected to launch with the upcoming visionOS 3, will allow users to scroll simply by looking at specific areas of the screen.

Even though currently, Vision Pro allows users to navigate by blending eye-tracking and hand gestures, you look at something, then pinch to select.
But Apple’s next big trick aims to ditch hand gestures for scrolling entirely.
The software will allow users to select data or navigate by the user’s eye movement toward the top or bottom of a page, the system will automatically scroll content in the intended direction.
It is not science fiction; it is already being tested.
While Vision Pro already includes an existing form of eye scrolling through its Accessibility settings (specifically Dwell Control), reports suggest the new version will be smoother, smarter, and deeply integrated into Apple’s core apps and developer tools.
The feature is expected to be a headline announcement at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June 2025.
Sources say all native Vision Pro apps will support the eye-scrolling function. Even more exciting, Apple will reportedly open this capability to developers via new APIs, allowing third-party apps, games, browsers, and productivity tools to adopt the feature, and this will be good news for gamers.
For now, testing is happening internally, but if successful, it could mark a turning point in hands-free computing.
And while Vision Pro has not officially landed in African markets like Kenya yet, but T it is available for purchase through authorised resellers.
The price of the current model ranges from Sh 498,000 to Sh 750,000, depending on storage capacity and the specific retailer.
