Eye tracking for training comes through our partners. We provide the camera and the tracking. They build it into the simulators and platforms you train on.
One compact camera
Small enough for cramped cockpits and simulators, with a visible footprint of 5 mm when mounted behind a panel.
Built into your platform
Partners integrate eye tracking into their simulators and platforms, so gaze data sits alongside the metrics instructors already use.
A growing partner network
We support each integration from first evaluation to deployment, and we’re always open to new training partners.
For every training environment. Across industries where attention shapes safety.
Aviation
How a pilot distributes attention across instruments, displays, and the outside view is central to safety. Eye tracking makes scanning technique visible, so instructors can teach and correct it directly — in the simulator and on the flight deck.
See how trainees move attention across the flight deck and catch scanning errors before they become habits.
Measure where focus goes as task demands rise, and how trainees cope under pressure.
Study how pilots perceive and respond to automation, including where attention drifts.
Replay gaze alongside simulator data so feedback is grounded in what actually happened.
Air Traffic Control
Controllers move constantly between radar, flight data and communications, managing attention across increasingly crowded skies. Eye tracking captures how they distribute and shift attention during training, providing evidence of scanning behavior, workload, and situational awareness that instructors can review live and in the debrief.
See how controllers move attention across displays, and where it lingers or lapses.
Read the signs of high task load before they affect performance.
Assess whether critical information stays in view as traffic builds.
Give instructors consistent, objective evidence across trainees and sessions.
Automotive
In driver training and human-factors work, eye tracking shows where a driver looks, what they miss, and how attention shifts with the task — across instrumented vehicles and motion-based simulators.
See whether trainees scan for and register hazards in time.
Measure how attention moves between the road, mirrors, displays and controls.
Understand how drivers engage with in-vehicle systems, and where they take their eyes off the road.
Track how attention and responsiveness develop across a training program.
Rail & Tram
For train and tram drivers, missing a signal or losing awareness of the track ahead carries real consequences. Eye tracking shows how drivers scan the route and respond to signals in simulator training.
See whether drivers detect and act on signals in time.
Understand how attention moves across the track, cab displays and surroundings.
Spot where awareness drops during long or repetitive runs.
Power & Utility Operations
Control-room operators monitor large arrays of displays where a missed indicator can escalate quickly. Eye tracking shows how operators distribute attention and hold awareness during training scenarios.
See which indicators get attention and which are missed.
Measure how quickly operators detect and act on abnormal conditions.
Understand how attention holds up during complex, high-load scenarios.
Eye tracking can show where and when a trainee looks, helping instructors get clear evidence of how information is perceived, prioritized, and acted on under pressure.
Attention analysis
See where a trainee looks and how attention shifts as demands change.
Performance evaluation
Turn observed behavior into measurable performance data.
Instructor support
Give instructors real-time cues and clear material for debrief.
Training optimization
Accelerate learning and improve outcomes with evidence.
Using Eye Tracking to Improve Training
In Evidence-Based Training (EBT) and Competency-Based Training and Assessment (CBTA), eye tracking adds measurable evidence: whether a pilot looked at a warning in time, a controller monitored key information, or attention was distributed effectively across displays.

Training FAQ
Smart Eye provides the eye tracking: a compact camera, infrared illumination and real-time tracking software. Our training partners build it into their simulators and platforms, so gaze data is time-synchronized with simulator events and sits alongside the metrics instructors already use. The camera is small enough to mount discreetly in a cockpit or simulator panel.
During a session, instructors can see where a trainee is looking in real time — shown as gaze points and scan paths — along with workload indicators and cues when behavior deviates from the expected pattern. In the debrief, recorded gaze, video and simulator data are available together, so an instructor can replay exactly what a trainee looked at, in what order, and drill into specific moments. That turns feedback from subjective impression into evidence a trainee can see for themselves.
Yes. Simulators are among the harder environments for eye tracking, with reflections, screen glare, changing light and head movement. Our cameras use active infrared illumination, which makes tracking independent of ambient light, so gaze is recorded accurately in real time and for later review.
Yes. Controllers manage attention across radar, flight data and communications under constant time pressure, and eye tracking captures how they distribute and shift that attention during training. It gives instructors objective evidence of scanning behavior, workload and situational awareness — whether critical information stayed in view as traffic built — that they can review live and in the debrief.
Smart Eye supplies reliable real-time gaze data. Our partners’ training platforms turn it into scan paths, heatmaps and workload indicators, and can compare actual behavior against an expected scan pattern. Instructors review these alongside simulator data to assess situational awareness, workload and overall performance, and to guide a targeted debrief.
Yes. The cameras track through prescription glasses, contact lenses, non-IR-blocking sunglasses and visors, so trainees train as they normally would. Glasses have long been a barrier for VR-based eye tracking and eye tracking glasses.
