Aircraft Simulators

          A simulated flight environment for pilot training may  soon
    be  made  more  realistic  through  the   use   of   eye-tracking
    technology  developed  by  researchers  at  the   University   of
    Toronto's Institute of Biomedical Engineering (IMBE).

          Many safety and cost  benefits  are  obtained  by  training
    aircraft pilots under simulated conditions,  but to be  effective
    the simulation must be convicingly realistic.  At present,  th  e
    training facilities use large domes and gimballed projectors,  or
    an array of video screens,  to display computer-generated images.
    But these installations are very expensive and  image  resolution
    is low.  Further,  it would take an enormous amount  of  addi  to
    improve image quality significantly throughout the  whole  viewed
    scene.

          However,  based  on  the  visual  properties  of  the  eye,
    realism can be obtained by providing a high-resolution  'area  of
    interest' insert within a large,  low-resolution field  of  view.
    If  the  image-generating  computer  'knows'  where  the  pilot's
    fixation is, it mage there.

          The technology to make this possible  was  developed  by  a
    research team headed by Professor Richard Frecker  and  Professor
    Moshe Eizenman.  The work was carried out in  collaboration  with
    CAE Electronics Ltd.  of Montreal with financial support from the
    Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada.

          Their eye-tracker can record and analyze accurately  up  to
    500 eye positions per second.   The  system  works  by  means  of
    capturing and processing the ...
