Experimental Evaluation of Fighter's Interface Layout Based on Eye Tracking

In order to evaluate the fighter cockpit interface layout schemes objectively,the interface layout schemes are tested and analyzed in this paper with the eye movement tracking instrument.The scanpath,the gaze hotspot map,the number of gaze points and the gaze duration are obtained by testing different schemes.Then the interface layout scheme is evaluated according to the 4 data.The optimal scheme is the one with reasonable distribution of scanpath and hotspot map.The analysis of the experiment design shows that the scanpath and hotspot map are the critical factors of the layout optimization.The number of gaze points and gaze duration depends much more on tasks,but in this experiment different layouts have no evident effect on the number of gaze points and gaze duration.Finally,the restricted conditions in the experiment are put forward.
