The State of the Pupil: Moving Toward Enabling Real-World Use of Pupillometry-Based Estimation of Human States

Abstract

In the future Army battlespace, human and intelligent agents are expected to be able to team together to accomplish mission-critical goals. To enable adaptable technology-supported teaming in real-world missions, sensors must be able to reliably and robustly estimate human states while embedded in complex, dynamic environments. We propose that eye tracking based pupil-size monitoring can be used as a cost-effective, reliable, robust data source to estimate Solider states for a variety of Army relevant use cases. This report details potential use cases and the gaps in the science and knowledge that remain as obstacles to enabling intelligent agents to exploit pupil size data for human-agent teaming.
