Improve training scenarios for high-stress professions

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.

Seeing beyond the cockpit

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.

  • 74% 

    of aviation incidents involve human
    factors like attention lapses or misjudgment.

  • 68%

    of space mission errors are linked
    to cognitive overload or miscommunication.

  • 60%

    of aerospace interface designs
    lack real-world validation of usability.
