Eye Tracking System The ViewPoint EyeTracker™ provides a complete eye movement evaluation environment including integrated stimulus presentation, eye movement monitoring, pupil diameter monitoring, and a Software Developer’s Kit (SDK) for communicating with other applications. A user can select from several methods to optimize the system for a particular application.

Elemental Driving Simulator The Elemental Driving Simulator (EDS) is a computer based quasi-simulator used in driver rehabilitation with cognitively at-risk persons to determine whether the individual possesses sufficient information processing capabilities to drive safely.
Advanced Computer Modeling The Photomodeler™ system constructs three dimensional computer models from digital photographs of real world objects. Applications include accident reconstruction, architecture, archaeology, engineering, forensics, web page design, 3D graphics, and virtual reality. The models created using Photomodeler can be can be exported to websites and to animation software for further development. The CINEMA 4D™ Production Suite is used for three dimensional modeling, painting, and animation. Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) files can be imported into CINEMA 4D XL and render reality with pictures and animations, including virtual tours and fly-throughs. Utilizing Photomodeler, Cinema 4D, and the Peak Performance Motion Measurement System, the Human Factors Laboratory will be able to create forensic animations of industrial accidents from various settings. These animations will be used for creating compelling illustrations of the adverse outcomes of various unsafe conditions and behaviors in the workplace.
