Testing different eye trackers in the wild

At Cineon, our goal is to build training systems that understand human cognition and adapt to it in real time. We do this through eye tracking – using gaze behaviour to infer cognitive state during training. But generating high-quality data alone isn’t enough. For cognitive state monitoring to be truly useful in the real world, […]

Pilot Communication Skills: Avoiding Misunderstandings in Critical Moments 

Two pilots in cockpit

Summary  Effective communication is a core pilot competency that directly impacts flight safety. In high-pressure environments, misheard instructions or unclear exchanges can lead to serious incidents. Barriers like language differences, cognitive overload, and cultural factors make consistent communication challenging, even for experienced crews. TACET enhances pilot communication training by revealing hidden behaviours like where attention […]

How Eye-Tracking and VR Are Advancing Pilot Competency Training

Full-flight simulators remain a cornerstone of aviation training. However, their cost, logistical demands, and limited feedback mechanisms mean they can’t always offer a complete picture of a pilot’s real-world readiness – particularly when it comes to human factors. As the industry explores new ways to deliver high-quality, scalable, and evidence-based training, technologies such as eye-tracking […]

Mastering Pilot Competencies: The Key to Safer, Smarter Aviation Training

pilot competencies for aviation training

A professional pilot’s ability to operate safely and efficiently is not just a function of technical skill – it relies on a broader set of professional competencies that define decision-making, communication, leadership, and adaptability under pressure. In today’s complex aviation environment, traditional training models that rely solely on experience accumulation are no longer sufficient. A […]

Advancing Search and Rescue: VR Drone Training with Devon & Cornwall Police and Future Skills Centre

Cineon is thrilled to collaborate with Devon and Cornwall Police and Future Skills Centre Exeter  to develop an immersive, data-driven drone training programme. Designed specifically for search and rescue operations, the training leverages Virtual Reality (VR) and in-headset eye-tracking to build decision-making, situational awareness, and technical flying skills – all within a controlled and repeatable environment. Why […]

Unlocking the Potential of Adaptive Training: A Modern Approach to Learning

Adaptive Training (AT) is transforming how we approach learning and development. By utilising data and technology, AT personalises educational experiences to align with individual learners’ needs, abilities, and preferences. This innovative method is designed to accelerate learning and enhance its effectiveness, enabling trainees to develop expertise more rapidly. But how does adaptive training work? What […]
