In day-to-day scenarios, pupil tracking doesn’t always go as smoothly as in the lab. To minimize this, our smart glasses integrate a range of well-established solutions to handle situations where individual eye characteristics or external conditions introduce complexity for the tracking algorithms.
How Smart Glasses can help companies transform workflows and uncover operational inefficiencies – an interview with Andrei Panduru.
A team of researchers from St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences in collaboration with Viewpointsystem set out to answer a deceptively simple question: Can we accurately judge our own level of focus, or do our eyes offer a more accurate measure through eye tracking technology? The result? People’s self-assessments did not always match reality, but their eyes did.
Since spring 2024, the ÖBB rolling stock maintenance has been using VPS Smart Glasses as an integral part of its training and continuing education programs. Inspired by the successful project “Augen:Blicke – Eyetrackertraining”, the rolling stock maintenance decided to incorporate the technology into their own training. With support of the Smart Glasses, railcar inspectors refine their structured inspection techniques when examining vehicles, cargo, and cargo security.
At its core, “Milita meets Business” demonstrated that – whether through advancements in satellite technology, eye tracking systems, or defense strategies – the future of security depends on our ability to innovate, adapt, and collaborate. Held under the banner of ‘Security and Innovation’, the event focused on how to stimulate more innovation in the defense sector and how to bring relevant innovations into use more quickly. This includes breaking down barriers between industries and exploring how start-ups, scale-ups, and established companies can play a role in shaping the future of defense.
With filings on the rise, patents are more critical than ever as a driving force for technological progress and growth. Eddy Vindigni, IP Counsel at Viewpointsystem, shares insights and key strategies on navigating the patent process: How do you decide what to patent? What role does AI play? And how can you protect your intellectual property in collaborations with others?
Every day, thousands of children make their way to school, often navigating busy streets and intersections. But how well do they really understand the risks? Last year, nearly 500 children in Austria were injured in traffic accidents on their way to school. To identify and understand the challenges, the Austrian Automobile, Motorcycle, and Touring Club (ÖAMTC) conducted a study using our smart glasses with eye tracking technology. The research provides insights into how younger children (6-7 years old) and older children (11-12 years old) perceive and react to potential traffic hazards, ultimately aiming to improve traffic safety measures.
Find out why the white sclera once gave us an evolutionary advantage and how our gaze behaviour optimises technologies such as autonomous driving and smart glasses. An exciting look at how traits that once evolved for survival are now being used in completely new contexts.
