Studying human performance and attention at NASA Langley Research Center
NASA Langley researchers discuss conducting operator state assessment using a combination of psychophysiological measures and eye tracking with commercial aviation pilots.
For operators working in cockpits, control rooms, and other critical environments, situational awareness is vital to making the right decisions. Rigorous training in real-world or simulated environments can be the difference between success and failure.
Eye tracking reveals the critical shifts in attention and decision-making that shape pilot performance and astronaut training, enhancing safety, situational awareness, and mission success in aviation and space.
of aviation incidents involve human
factors like attention lapses or misjudgment.

to cognitive overload or miscommunication.

The advantages of using eye tracking to measure and assess performance include:
Capture data in almost any situation, by looking through eye tracking lenses, at a screen, or by integrating the technology into your own application or device.
Our experienced global service team brings deep expertise in applying eye tracking to aviation and space training. We can conduct tailored studies, help you get started, and provide support at every stage to ensure your project’s success.
Our easy-to-use wearable eye tracker lets you take the next step into human-centric exploration by experiencing situations from the user perspective. The unobtrusive design gives users the freedom to move and interact naturally in any environment.
Our screen-based eye trackers are easy to set up and allow you to view and record the visual behavior of a person while they carry out tasks on screens or within limited physical areas.
If you are developing an application or building an innovative product that would benefit from intuitive user interaction, new types of collaboration, or perhaps one that analyzes human behavior, our eye tracking solutions might be what you need.
