Most accidents in the aviation, maritime, and construction industries are caused by human error, which can be traced back to impaired mental performance and attention failure. In 1596, Du Laurens, a French anatomist and medical scientist, said that the eyes are the windows of the mind. Eye tracking research dates back almost 150 years and it has been widely used in different fields for several purposes. Overall, eye tracking technologies provide the means to capture in real time a variety of eye movements that reflect different human cognitive, emotional, and physiological states, which can be used to gain a wider understanding of the human mind in different scenarios. This systematic literature review explored the different applications of eye tracking research in three high-risk industries, namely aviation, maritime, and construction. The results of this research uncovered the demographic distribution and applications of eye tracking research, as well as the different technologies that have been integrated to study the visual, cognitive, and attentional aspects of human mental performance. Moreover, different research gaps and potential future research directions were highlighted in relation to the usage of additional technologies to support, validate, and enhance eye tracking research to better understand human mental performance.
大多数航空、航海和建筑行业的事故都是由人为错误造成的,而这些错误可以追溯到精神表现受损和注意力失败。1596 年,法国解剖学家和医学科学家 Du Laurens 说,眼睛是心灵的窗户。眼动追踪研究可以追溯到近 150 年前,它已经被广泛应用于不同领域的多种目的。总的来说,眼动追踪技术提供了实时捕捉各种眼动的手段,这些眼动反映了不同的人类认知、情感和生理状态,可以帮助我们在不同场景下更全面地了解人类的思维。本系统文献综述探讨了眼动追踪研究在航空、航海和建筑这三个高风险行业中的不同应用。该研究结果揭示了眼动追踪研究的人口统计学分布和应用,以及已整合的不同技术,这些技术用于研究人类精神表现的视觉、认知和注意力方面。此外,还强调了与使用额外技术相关的不同研究差距和潜在的未来研究方向,这些技术用于支持、验证和增强眼动追踪研究,以更好地理解人类的精神表现。
