Understanding how people engage with systems
Eye tracking provides information about human cognitive abilities such as paying attention, problem-solving, or learning, that are crucial for designing systems, tools, and environments that align with human cognitive strengths and compensate for weaknesses.
Visualizing precision in construction and engineering
Eye tracking uncovers the critical moments of attention and decision-making on-site and in design, helping engineers and construction teams reduce errors, improve safety, and optimize workflows.
- 69%
of on-site safety incidents are
linked to missed visual cues or distractions. - 63%
of construction errors stem from
misinterpreting plans or interfaces. - 58%
of equipment-related incidents involve
human-machine interaction issues.
What you can measure with eye tracking
Our solutions capture and analyze human-system interactions to deliver objective measurements and behavioral insights for design and ergonomics, as well as developing usability, efficiency, and safety features.
Eye tracking data can be extrapolated into:
