Virtual Reality and Eye Tracking in Usability Testing for Industry 4.0

Virtual reality has emerged as one of the most promising technologies in the context of Industry 4.0. With technological advancements, there is a notable need to modify usability testing in industrial processes to be more practical, safe, and cost-effective, with virtual reality being a key solution. Virtual reality provides a sophisticated solution to these challenges. This work describes the development of a virtual reality-based environment to analyze eye-tracking data in the context of industrial usability testing. To this end, tests were conducted using the PICO 4 Enterprise headset, analyzing user attention in a simulated environment created in Unreal Engine.
