A system for aiding a user in at least one of welding, cutting, joining, and cladding operations is provided. The system includes a welding tool and a welding helmet with a face-mounted display. The system also includes a spatial tracker configured to track the welding helmet and the welding tool in 3-D space relative to an object to be worked on. A processor based subsystem is configured to generate visual cues based on information from the spatial tracker and transmit the visual cues to a predetermined location on the face-mounted display.

Welding system providing visual and audio cues to a welding helmet with a display

A system for aiding a user in at least one of welding, cutting, joining, and cladding operations is provided. The system includes a welding tool and a welding helmet with a face-mounted display. The system also includes a spatial tracker configured to track the welding helmet and the welding tool in 3-D space relative to an object to be worked on. A processor based subsystem is configured to generate virtual objects based on objects found in a welding environment and transmit the virtual objects to a predetermined location on the face-mounted display.

Welding trainer utilizing a head up display to display simulated and real-world objects

A system for and method of tracking elements of a welding system using electromagnetic sensors and an electromagnetic transmitter, the electromagnetic sensors and an electromagnetic transmitter operating at a frequency group that is selected to reduce or avoid interference from other welding systems, such selection being performed manually by a user or automatically as the result of detection of interference at the sensors.

Magnetic frequency selection for electromagnetic position tracking

A learning management system (LMS) for tracking student progress as students learn how to weld in a real-time, simulated, virtual reality welding training environment. Systems and methods to help welding instructors and students manage the data associated with instruction and learning in a virtual reality welding environment are provided. Welding student training data generated by students while using virtual reality welding systems is stored in a centralized database. The centralized database is accessible by a user (e.g., a welding instructor) using a personal computer having a learning management software application (LMSA) installed thereon. The LMSA is configured to allow the user to access at least a portion of the student training data for one or more of viewing, analysis, grading, and reporting.
