Smart Eye: Pioneers in Eye Tracking Technology

Before we delve into our case study, let’s introduce Smart Eye. With headquarters in Gothenburg, Sweden, and subsidiaries across the globe, including locations in Boston, Ann Arbor, and Cairo, we are at the forefront of eye tracking innovation. Our solutions are trusted by leading organizations worldwide, thanks to our commitment to precision, accuracy, and reliability.

Case Study: Loco Pilot Training in a Train Simulator

In a recent case study presented in a customer support webinar, our customer success team takes us to the heart of loco pilot training with a moving-based train simulator. These simulators, designed by Sim Factor in collaboration with CTK, replicate the experience of driving a train in various scenarios. Inside these simulators, which resemble small rooms on moving legs, aspiring loco pilots undergo rigorous training to earn their certification.

The key to effective training lies in monitoring the attention and focus of the loco pilots. This is where Smart Eye’s eye tracking technology comes into play. By integrating our non-intrusive eye tracking system into the simulator, instructors gain valuable insights into the loco pilots’ behavior and attention.

Enhancing Training Effectiveness with Eye Tracking

Our eye tracking system captures detailed data on where loco pilots are looking during training scenarios. Instructors can analyze this data to provide targeted feedback and guidance. For example, if a Loco pilot fails to notice a crucial sign or takes too long to react to a warning signal, the instructor can provide specific feedback to improve performance.

Seamless Integration and Non-Intrusive Monitoring

One of the standout features of our eye tracking system is its seamless integration into the train simulator environment. Hidden behind panels and integrated into the simulator’s infrastructure, our cameras remain virtually invisible to the loco pilots. This non-intrusive approach ensures that loco pilots can focus on their training without distraction, while instructors have access to valuable eye tracking data.

The Bottom Line: Why Choose Smart Eye?

In conclusion, Smart Eye offers more than just eye tracking technology–we offer solutions that drive real-world results. By partnering with Smart Eye, organizations gain access to cutting-edge technology that enhances training effectiveness and improves performance.
