Aviation and space
For operators working in cockpits, control rooms, and other critical environments, situational awareness is vital to making the right decisions.
From aviation and driving simulators to medical training environments, eye tracking reveals what users actually see, unlocking deeper understanding, improved decision-making, and measurable performance gains.
Simulation is the use of realistic, controlled environments or systems that replicate real-world scenarios, allowing individuals to practice skills, test decisions, and analyze performance without real-world risk.
It is widely used in fields such as aviation, healthcare, and driving, where professionals can safely develop situational awareness, improve decision-making, and refine their responses in complex or high-pressure situations.
When combined with technologies like eye tracking, simulation becomes even more powerful — providing deeper insights into attention, perception, and behavior, and helping organizations better understand how people interact with their environment.
Eye tracking adds a new dimension to simulation training by capturing exactly where users look, when they look, and what they may miss.
This enables:
Improve situational awareness
Get a better understanding of visual attention.
Identifying gaps in perception
Identify critical attention gaps and errors.
Objective performance analysis
Gain objective insights into human behavior and performance.
Personalized training programs
Support data-driven decision-making and evaluation.
Faster competency development
Accelerate skill development and performance.
Explore how simulation training with eye tracking is applied across industries.
For operators working in cockpits, control rooms, and other critical environments, situational awareness is vital to making the right decisions.
Eye tracking enhances simulated healthcare environments by revealing how clinicians focus, prioritize, and respond under pressure.
Eye tracking used in driving simulators measures visual attention, situational awareness, and cognitive load to improve driver training, enhance road safety, and analyze behavior.
It's quite easy to use. They put on the glasses, and we start the recording. We go out and do the tests and try to evaluate them afterward. It has been very interesting to look at these recordings to see if there is a relation between where [drivers] look and what kind of decisions they make.
Eye tracking technology has been instrumental in our research. The accuracy, ease of use, and advanced features have allowed us to push the boundaries of human-factors research in aviation.
The ability to actually see through the surgeon’s eyes is important and visualizing where their hand motions are is critical to success.
This is the first time we can get data on visual human information collection. We can use this to optimize training procedures and operative procedures.
Our GT simulator proved to be ideal for this activity. Everything starts from the need to respect the adaptive capabilities of the human body and, specifically, the driver’s visual system. We brought a real car chassis into the simulator, mounted on our three-degrees-of-freedom motion system, and built a 180° visual environment that does not generate sensory conflicts.
