Integrating Eye-Tracking and HUD in Pilot Training Whitepaper

Seeing Machines, together with Captain Matthew Gray, published a whitepaper which discusses the combination of eye-tracking with Head-Up Display to add value to pilot training beyond reduced errors and increased situational awareness.

Head-Up Displays (HUDs) and Head-Up Guidance Systems (HGS) introduce value beyond real-time gaze tracking. When integrated with eye-tracking solutions during training, guided by instructor and pilot input, and supported by visual and instructional learning tools, these systems can build up additional safety, organisational and operational capability drivers for aircrews, especially amidst rising demands.

The paper demonstrates how this combination will help maximise training efficiency and effectiveness through enabling Competency- and Evidence-Based Training; supporting data-driven training programs; extracting instructors’ high-value knowledge and experience; and fostering effective brief, debrief and learning opportunities.
