“…In a study with university participants navigating in virtual mazes, Akinlofa, Holt, and Elyan (2014) observed that the group given animated map aids outperformed those given static aids, even though the animated depictions were substantially smaller. In this case, the size bias could have favored the static format, but it did not.…”

“…Although the authors did not observe significant differences between the visualizations, statics presented no interaction, but animations included interactive buttons to rewind, fast forward, and pause the depiction. Similarly, in the study byAkinlofa et al (2014) described in the previous section, the bias tilted toward animation, as only the animated visualization presented buttons to control its pace. Examples of the statics formats provided with more secondary interactivity are the studies byAyres et al (2009) and by Marcus, Cleary,Wong, and Ayres (2013), in which participants learned the human movement task of tying knots.…”

“…Nowadays, eye tracking experiments are becoming more common in different research fields, not only in psychology: e.g. usability engineering, cartography, landscape research, marketing, sport and movement sciences (Akinlofa, Holt, & Elyan, 2014;Dupont, Antrop, & Van Eetvelde, 2014;Ooms, De Maeyer, Fack, Van Assche, & Witlox, 2012;Pieters, 2008;Vansteenkiste, Cardon, Accuracy and precision of fixation locations recorded with the low-cost Eye Tribe tracker in different experimental setups D'Hondt, Philippaerts, & Lenoir, 2013). Over the years, the accuracy of the equipment has improved and prices have dropped.…”

This article compares the accuracy and precision of the low-cost Eye Tribe tracker and a well-established comparable eye tracker: SMI RED 250. Participants were instructed to fixate on predefined point locations on a screen. The accuracy is measured by the distance between the recorded fixation locations and the actual location. Precision is represented by the standard deviation of these measurements. Furthermore, the temporal precision of both eye tracking devices (sampling rate) is evaluated as well. The obtained results illustrate that a correct set-up and selection of software to record and process the data are of utmost importance to obtain acceptable results with the low-cost device. Nevertheless, with careful selections in each of these steps, the quality (accuracy and precision) of the recorded data can be considered comparable.

“…A few years ago, the demands by the operators were more physical than mental and manual intervention of physical devices was sufficient for continuous and safe production. A number of recent studies highlighted the benefits of operator training and its correlation with decrease in accidents and abnormal situations . The work of Kluge et al .…”

Keeping the systems and processes safe is of paramount importance for all industries around the world. Process industry is a socio-complex system constituted of dynamic chemical processes, sophisticated computer algorithms, modern human machine interfaces, and teams of operators working at different locations. The decisions of the operators directly or indirectly influence the safety and production of chemical processes. The article presents and discusses a solution for immersive training of industrial operators that allows experiencing the multifaceted scenarios of (real) plant operations. This tool, called Plant Simulator (PS), combines a process simulator and an accident simulator to simulate dynamically both normal and abnormal/accident scenarios. These simulators are the engines that work behind the curtains of an Immersive Virtual Environment and make possible the realism of the simulated operations in the plant. The article explains the features of PS and discusses two case studies that show the potential improvements achievable in processes safety. 9 fatalities and 122 casualties; demolished life in 100-km Marcal river. Neptune Technologies and Bioresources. Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada (2012); a huge blast followed by smaller ones.2 fatalities and 17 casualties.
