hey guys what's up ashley's gather from technobuffalo we're here checking out head gestures in iOS 7 beta 2 for the iPad this is a really interesting thing that somebody noticed the other day it's actually an accessibility option so it's not something that you would use in everyday life but it's still interesting to take a look at so let's have a look at what it does so here we are in our iOS 7 beta 2 for ipad software we're going to check out settings and from here we're already in general so we don't have to go much farther than that but we're going to go into accessibility so once we get in there there's a lot of options that are available to us we can shut off parallax things like that there's also a physical and motor option which is down here so you can see the very first one is switch control so we're going to check this out now switch control lets you use your ipad by it will actually cycle through and highlight items on the screen and you can activate them through an adaptive accessory or you can actually now do it through head movements so if we go to switches you can see we can select an item so if we want to you know activate a switch on your input device now or enable built-in switch so here's different control switch control by tilting your head to the left or right so we're going to pick right head movement and we can actually add other switches like select item scanner menu restart the scanning skip to next item step two previous item and stop scanning you can also do system switches so we can also do that if we wanted to say activate Siri I use the home button things like that we would be able to choose those actions so if we wanted to do that we could do left head movement for that so you can see select item is right head movement and the home button is left head movements which and if you had any other accessories for your iPad that were accessibility based you'd be able to use them here and add switches accordingly so we're going to use those so we have select items right head movements which and home button as left movements which so once we do that we can switch ON switch control and usually we'll give you a popup menu the very first time you activate it but we've already done that so now you can see that it will start toggling through and if we wanted to choose something we would be able to do a turn of our head which if we want to go home we would go to the left and then if we wanted to choose a group of apps we would go to the right so let's say we wanted to go into our clock so now we've gone into the clock setting and we can check out all of our different times and so you can see here all your different clocks and if we want to go back to the home screen of course we would just go left and now it's taken us back to the home screen but it's really basic super simple but also a nice feature to see on iOS 7 any time we have expanded accessibility options it's always great for people who need it I don't see this being used for anybody who in everyday life does not need the accessibility options but like i said it always is nice to see those extra expanded options especially when people really want or need them and that is a switch control for iOS 7 beta 2 on the ipad
