Royal Oak's Realtime In New Partnership
Royal Oak-based Realtime Technologies last week announced a partnership wtih Scottsdale, Ariz.-based Arrington Research Inc. to integrate the 3DWorkSpace layer of the ViewPoint EyeTracker with Realtime's SimCreator.
The companies said the integration provides a cost-effective, complete, 360-degree eye tracking and hed tracking system within a driving simulator.
3DWorkSpace from ARI provides a turnkey system for eye tracking and head tracking integration. This integration provides display of which panel or region of interest the user is viewing and the coordinates of the gaze point on that panel.
3DWorkSpace provides tracking across multiple panels and other objects of interest. HeatMaps and Region of Interest linkage maps simplify the analysis process.
Interfacing 3DWorkSpace with the driving simulator from RTI adds an enhanced level of real-time feedback of driver actions and reactions. Eye movement measurements will provide a unique understanding of driver reaction to internal and external equipment and distractions. Real-time changes to simulations can be made on the basis of eye movements.
