The document describes BlueEye technology, which aims to create machines that have human-like perceptual and sensory abilities. BlueEyes is a system that monitors human operators using sensors to detect their physical, emotional, and informational states. It collects data from eye movement sensors and other physiological sensors to analyze the operator's condition without interfering with their work. The system is intended to help prevent incidents by identifying signs of human error or impairment. It includes a data acquisition unit worn by the operator and a central system unit for analysis, visualization, and data storage.
