Objective: Military pilot training is demanding and every day student pilots must demonstrate their ability to progress, at the risk of being excluded. From the first hours of flight, instructors assess students on their ability to manage flying situations. To do this, the students' attention skills, especially visual, are examined through their ocular behaviour. Two aspects of the ocular behaviour of student pilots are of particular interest to instructors: speed and completeness of the visual scan. However, it is not easy to quantify these two notions objectively. We have sought to objectify the notion of speed of the visual scan by providing tangible and reusable metrics to improve understanding and communication on the topic.

International audience ; Eye movements are particularly important in aeronautics where operators rely on numerous sources of visual information. Eye-tracking reveals what we are looking at, but also the physical and psychological condition of an operator. The human perception, and more particularly the vision, is a vector of errors well known in human factors (tunnel effect, eye strain, etc.). The eyes can help finding where the attention is focused (gaze position), how the subject feels (fatigue), and interact with a system by eye movements [1]. Ocular interactions meet the need that HOTAS commands in aircraft are complexified by the high number of buttons and complex multiplexing. Oculometry has thus become a flagship sector of aeronautical research to understand human limits and interact more naturally with the system. Current solutions are largely based on video-based eye trackers, but this technology has some drawbacks: vibrations in the aircraft, visual field obstruction, and infrared illumination are signifiant issues that prevent eye trackers from being operational.

International audience ; French ab initio military pilots are trained to operate a new generation of aircraft equipped with glass cockpit avionics (Rafale, A400 M). However gaze scanning teachings can still be improved and remain a topic of great interest. Eye tracking devices can record trainee gaze patterns in order to compare them with correct ones. This paper presents experimentation conducted in a controlled simulation environment where trainee behaviors were analyzed with notifications given in real-time. In line with other research in civil aviation, this experimentation shows that student-pilots spend too much time looking at inboard instruments (inside the cockpit). In addition, preliminary results show that different notifications bring modifications of the visual gaze pattern. Finally we discuss future strategies to support a more efficient pilot training thanks to real-time gaze recording and its analysis.

International audience ; We propose a set of techniques leveraging mobile devices as lenses to explore, interact and annotate n-dimensional data visualizations. The democratization of mobile devices, with their arrays of integrated sensors, opens up opportunities to create experiences for anyone to explore and interact with large information spaces anywhere. In this paper, we propose to revisit ideas behind the Chameleon prototype of Fitzmaurice et al. initially envisioned in the 90s for navigation, before spatially-aware devices became mainstream. We also take advantage of other input modalities such as pen and touch to not only navigate the space using the mobile as a lens, but interact and annotate it by adding toolglasses.
