User Experience Analysis in Industry 4.0 - The Use of Biometric Devices in Engineering Design and Manufacturing

Biometric devices and especially eye tracking systems have been used in various sectors such as neuroscience, clinical research, training and learning, linguistics, biomechanics, ergonomics and market research. So far, there are only a few applications of eye tracking in industrial environments such as engineering design and manufacturing or assembly. The aim of this research is to review why and to what extent biometric devices such as eye tracking systems can be used in industry. The research provides an overview of the state of the art in using these technologies in industrial engineering with a special focus to design and manufacturing. In addition, this paper briefly describes two currently running test series of the research team to investigate the usability of these systems in industrial engineering.
