Resumo

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.
