That was my thinking. They don't always nail down accessibility issues right away, but I think they're fairly highly regarded in terms of getting to things eventually.

(I say "I think" because I have not actually used their accessibility features)

With all of the new paradigms in VisionOS it seems perhaps unavoidable that accessibility features might take some time to catch up. Engineers and designers have to wrap their minds around the new stuff.

Maybe. The eyes are a sort of the canary in the coal mine for lots of neurological issues. Sometimes people don’t notice problems because the brain adapts well, and accommodation may be more challenging than one might think.

I have a loved one having issues due to a brain cancer. Optical seizures were the first warning sign and went unnoticed for some time. It would be amazing if VisionOS could potentially detect some conditions or help folks with epilepsy just as the watch has for some cardiac events.

Their accessibility features are quite fascinating.

Sound recognition for example, or Assistive Touch on the watch. Not needing those I have no idea wether or not they’re actually useful, but it sure is impressive and seems well-thought.
