NLR has developed Augmented Eye, an innovative application that presents a pilot’s visual scan behaviour to the instructor in real-time. This information is displayed either as an overlay on the physical world through Augmented Reality technology or on a tablet, allowing the instructor to see what the student is looking at without distracting the pilot. By using Augmented Eye in training, students can learn faster and develop improved scan patterns, resulting in more efficient and effective training.
The application provides objective visual scan pattern information to support instructors and can be tailored to specific training scenarios using learning analytics. The goal is to make the invisible visible and provide valuable insights into pilots’ visual scan behaviour.
By addressing the limitations of current training instruments, which often rely on subjective information and estimates of scan behaviour, we can help improve training results and reduce the need for extra training due to incorrect scan patterns.
NLR can support you with:
- Gaining insight into pilots’ visual scan patterns during training.
- Obtaining objective information for enhanced feedback and debriefing.
- Visualising scan patterns for pilot awareness and improvement.
