Situational Awareness in Aviation: How Pilots Process Information Under Pressure
Summary Situational awareness is a vital yet hard-to-measure competency in aviation. Traditional training methods often rely on subjective judgement, but tools like TACET offer objective insights by tracking where pilots direct their attention during high-pressure scenarios. This data-driven approach supports evidence-based debriefs, strengthens CBTA alignment, and helps instructors identify performance trends and address skill gaps. […]
Automatically Adapting to Stress: Eye-Tracking in Virtual Training Systems
Stress and performance are closely intertwined. In small, controlled doses, stress can sharpen our attention and push us to perform at our best. But once stress crosses a certain threshold, it can become counterproductive, leading to anxiety, diminished focus and disrupted decision-making. Research has long explored this delicate balance, often visualised as an inverted-U relationship. […]
Pilot Communication Skills: Avoiding Misunderstandings in Critical Moments
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
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 […]

Taking place on 25 February 2025, this event brings together AI leaders from government, industry, and academia to discuss the latest developments in AI for Defence. At DAIC Connect, […]
Transforming Healthcare Anxiety & Access with VR: Insights from iSAVE Focus Groups
Healthcare anxiety is a significant barrier to access, leading to missed appointments, increased costs, and poorer patient outcomes. iSAVE (Improving Service Access using Virtual Exposure) is a cutting-edge AI-driven Virtual Reality (VR) tool designed to address this challenge. To assess its real-world impact, we conducted a series of focus groups with healthcare professionals, young adults, […]
Virtual Reality Training for Counter Terror Policing
In collaboration with the University of Exeter and trainers from the Metropolitan Police, Cineon is pioneering the use of virtual reality (VR) to revolutionise counter-terror policing. This innovative project focuses on equipping police officers with the skills they need to identify terror-related activity during house searches, helping to prevent incidents before they occur. Enhancing Search […]
