Seeing Machines (LON: SEE) has announced today it has been working closely with Emirates pilots to gain an understanding of how they interact and monitor instruments during potentially risky situations.
Seeing Machines, whose computer vision technology enables its hardware to assist those in control of a range of vehicles, said its "gaze-tracking" technology had been used in the study. The findings of the study will assist with the airline's training of its pilots for a wide range of mid-air scenarios.
The eye and tracking technology collects "gaze" data from pilots whilst undergoing various training programmes. This data will help Seeing Machines further develop its technologies to assist not only pilots but an array of applications across several industries.
The findings of the study will be presented later this week at the International Air Safety Summit in Dublin.
Patrick Nolan, General Manager of Aviation at Seeing Machines, commented:
"We have been working closely with Emirates for the past two years and I am delighted to have the opportunity to integrate our state-of-the-art technology into this world class airline, with its outstanding reputation for safety and innovation. Working with Emirates in this partnership will assist in the development of a Seeing Machines solution that not only supports Emirates, but the aviation industry more broadly."
Today's announcement comes a fortnight after the Group announced its FOVIO driver-assist system would feature in the new 2018 Cadillac CT6, marking the beginning of Seeing Machines' "mass deployment of DMS technology in the automotive industry".
Seeing Machines has been developing its computer vision driver assist technology for a variety of applications, including automotive, rail, aviation, mining and logistics, to help a range of machine driver issues including fatigue and distraction.
Currently Seeing Machines is a loss-making company, who in FY17 reported Revenues of £13.6m and a Net Loss of £29.7m. The Group is, however, forecast to turn its first profit in FY18, while Revenue is forecast to grow over 600% in the three years to FY19. SEE currently has a Market Cap of £65m.
