In recent years, many technologies have been developed that can be employed in professional settings with various objectives: from training to environmental risk detection, and from performance improvement to the streamlining of maintenance activities.<\/h3><\/div>Eye tracking is one of these. Already utilized in the medical\/healthcare field and in the world of caregiving (allowing bedridden patients with no other means of interaction to use their eyes to communicate), in marketing (to deeper understand consumer behavior), and in the creation of products and services (to make them more user-friendly for end-users), it is now increasingly used in industrial, workplace, and sports performance contexts. <\/p>\n
The expansion of its fields of use outside of scientific laboratories has been made possible thanks to the reduction in the invasiveness of this equipment. Currently, eye trackers have reached such portability that they do not interrupt or influence the activity of the person wearing or using them.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
How it works<\/h2><\/div>An eye tracker is an instrument that allows for the recording and evaluation of a person’s eye movements, making it possible to understand where they are looking, what they are paying attention to, and conversely, which stimuli they are neglecting.<\/p>\n
Its operation is based on a system that utilizes light with a frequency near-infrared. This frequency band is below our perceptual threshold; therefore, we do not see it with the naked eye, but when directed toward the eyes, it generates a physiological reflection of the cornea that is indeed visible. This reflection is captured by video cameras integrated into the device, which allow for the reconstruction of the gaze direction with great precision and accuracy. <\/p>\n
In addition to this, eye tracking also detects the position and orientation of the head and, thanks to the integrated gyroscope, also the position and movements of the body.<\/p>\n
By allowing us to monitor professional activity in real-time through the eyes and the unique perspective of the operator, this technology gives us access to a series of objective and behavioral data, often collected without the worker being fully aware of it, that can complement current performance evaluation methods and the programming of training interventions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Safety:<\/h5><\/div>The level of risk perception and attentional strategies are measured with greater precision and objectivity, with the aim of implementing or improving hazard signage and increasing the operator’s discriminative capabilities.<\/p>\n
Concentration, focus on specific elements, and the measurement of attentional capacity (and how it is distributed) are key indicators in the concept of “situational awareness”.

The lack or temporary loss of situational awareness can be a contributing factor to accidents or human error.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
The relevance of eye-tracking technology, therefore, lies in allowing a deep understanding, from perspectives previously unreachable directly, of the work environment, executive processes, and worker behavior.<\/p>\n
Deeper knowledge of all these factors increases workplace safety, optimizes procedures, tools, and equipment, and allows for the programming of training activities in a more realistic and efficient manner.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
