Eye-tracking tech has only been portable and unobtrusive enough to use in the last five years or so, but many businesses are now finding applications for it. Eye tracking can be integrated into VR headsets to track where workers are looking as they perform tasks in the virtual realm — information that is proving desirable for employers.
As more companies adopt VR for their training needs, eye tracking could prove invaluable to determine if and where learners are focused. Another recent study shows multisensory learning helps employees learn faster and retain more knowledge. One company found that versus video learning, VR trainees learned the material faster and made fewer mistakes later. Eye-tracking may well be the next layer in that process.
