1. A method for generating alerts comprising:
- responsive to an occurrence of an event, identifying a current gaze zone in a plurality of gaze zones associated with a current view of an operator;
identifying a desired gaze zone in the plurality of gaze zones for the event, wherein the desired gaze zone contains a source location for the event;
determining whether the current gaze zone is inside the desired gaze zone; and
responsive to a determination that the current gaze zone is outside the desired gaze zone, generating an alert.

Abstract
The different illustrative embodiments provide a method, apparatus, and computer program product for generating alerts. Responsive to an occurrence of an event, a current gaze zone in a plurality of gaze zones associated with a current view of an operator is identified. A desired gaze zone in the plurality of gaze zones is identified for the event. The desired gaze zone contains a source location for the event. A determination is made whether the current gaze zone is inside the desired gaze zone. Responsive to a determination that the current gaze zone is outside the desired gaze zone, an alert is generated.
