CANBERRA, Australia,
Dec. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Seeing
Machines Limited, the advanced computer vision technology company
that designs AI-powered operator monitoring systems to improve
transport safety announced that it has partnered with L3
Commercial Aviation, a leading provider of airline pilot training
solutions, to deliver integrated eye tracking capabilities into
their Full Flight Simulator (FFS). The first device with this
functionality will be delivered to a major Australian airline in
2019.
Seeing Machines and L3 have developed a solution to provide and
leverage the Group's industry leading eye tracking capability and
signals, to be deployed into a new Boeing 787 FFS. This marks the
first time that a permanent fully integrated eye tracking solution
has been delivered into a FFS device used for civil aviation pilot
training.
New head-up displays within commercial airlines provide a huge
amount of information for pilots but ensuring that it is used
correctly is crucial. Seeing Machines' eye-tracking technology will
provide the ability to monitor and evaluate both the performance of
the pilots and their decision-making processes during simulator
exercises. This will help to standardise head-up display flight
training across the airline's organisation and optimise training
outcomes for pilots and instructors, both in real-time and for post
scenario debrief.
"We are continuously looking to evolve and ultimately enhance
our training offer by incorporating new technologies into our full
range of training devices," commented Robin Glover-Faure, President of Commercial
Training Solutions, which is part of L3 Commercial Aviation.
"The implementation of the eye tracking technology is a
substantial development within the world of pilot training and will
provide critical data to better measure, tailor and advance
training programs."
Patrick Nolan, GM of Aviation
at Seeing Machines, added: "We are delighted to be working
with L3 to deliver this training solution.
"The feedback from the aviation industry on the benefits of
this capability and solution have been very positive. It is great
to see the transition to a fully integrated solution that will
provide valid data to support and optimise flight training in what
we believe will be the first of many engagements across the
industry."
