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 […]
Cineon to Exhibit at DAIC Connect 2025
We’re excited to announce that Cineon will be exhibiting at DAIC Connect 2025, the industry engagement event hosted in partnership with the Defence AI Centre (DAIC). 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, […]
Case Study: TACET Walkaround
The pre-flight walkaround is a critical safety procedure in aviation, serving as a pilot’s first line of defence against operational risk. Training for this task on a real aircraft is often limited by factors such weather conditions, aircraft availability, and the inability to replicate defects or hazards without risk and additional cost. Cineon’s TACET Walkaround removes these barriers, delivering a high-fidelity, repeatable virtual environment where pilots can perform realistic pre-flight […]
Case Study: iSAVEFocus 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, […]
Case Study: TACET
Traditional pilot training has long struggled to effectively measure and improve decision-making, communication, and situational awareness which contribute to nearly 75% of aviation incidents (Kharoufah et al., 2018). Cineon’s Training Aircrew Competencies using Eye Tracking (TACET) solution addresses this gap by using virtual reality and eye-tracking technology to offer a cost-effective, immersive training platform. What […]
Improving Operator Training at Sellafield
Following a successful bid, Cineon has been awarded a contract to help improve operator training at the Sellafield nuclear site. Cineon will be working with the University of Exeter and Innovate UK to improve operator training in relation to air-fed suits, fully contained hazard suits which are used in radiation areas where there is a high risk of […]
Cineon Launches Radiation Safety Training Tool on Quest
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our new radiation safety training tool, the first virtual reality (VR) simulation designed by Cineon for the Oculus Quest. This fully immersive tool has been created for industries that require radiation safety training, including power stations, hospitals, universities, and schools. Transforming Radiation Safety Training with VR This cutting-edge […]
Enhancing Nuclear Operator Training with VR: Phase Two Underway
The Cineon team is excited to announce that we are moving into the second phase of our virtual reality (VR) simulation project aimed at improving safety training for nuclear workers. This cutting-edge project focuses on air-fed suits, fully contained hazard suits used in radiation zones with a high risk of contamination. Funded by Innovate UK, […]
