How it would actually function is a mystery, but I could see a system where you have to look at the edge of a page long enough to start scrolling, or focusing on a UI element, then looking above or below it to move a page.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">You can do a version of eye-based scrolling with the Dwell Control accessibility feature, which lets you open menus or carry out actions by briefly resting your eyes on items in your view. To scroll, you can gaze at an icon until the page scrolls a set amount \u2014 it\u2019s clunky, and I\u2019d be surprised if what Apple is testing works the same way.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Apart from accessibility alternatives, other ways to scroll include the default \u2014 pinching with your finger and thumb and raising or lowering your hand \u2014 connecting a Bluetooth mouse, or using the analog stick on a wireless game controller.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Over the weekend, <a
