Abstract: Systems are disclosed relating to a mobile device mounted to a welding helmet such that a wearer of the welding helmet can see a display of the mobile device when wearing the welding helmet. In some examples, the mobile device is mounted such that a camera of the mobile device is unobscured and positioned at approximately eye level, facing the same way the wearer's eyes are facing. In some examples, the simulated training environment may be presented to the user via the display screen of the mobile device, using images captured by the camera of the mobile device, when the mobile device is so mounted to the welding helmet.

Abstract: Systems are disclosed relating to a weld module for weld training systems. In some examples, a weld module is configured for attachment to (and/or detachment from) a plug of a welding tool (e.g., welding torch, gun, stinger, foot pedal, etc.). The weld module may be configured to detect tool events based one or more signals received from the plug of the welding tool. The weld module may communicate the tool events to the weld training system for use during a weld simulation, for example.

Abstract: Systems and methods to simulate joining operations are disclosed. An example method to generate customized training workpieces for simulation based on physical real parts includes: analyzing a three-dimensional model of a physical part to determine a number of visual markers as needed and a placement of the visual markers on the physical part, the number and the placement of the visual markers being based on the geometry of the physical part; and generating physical markers representative of the determined visual markers for attachment to the physical part based on the determined placement of the visual markers.

Abstract: An augmented reality or virtual reality (AR/VR) system with active localisation of tools, use and associated process includes an object with one or more optical markers disposed thereon; a tool; an AR/VR viewer; a first optical device of information acquisition; and a processing unit connected at least to the tool and the AR/VR viewer. Advantageously, the tool comprises a second optical device of information acquisition, in such a way that the system operates even when there are occlusions from the AR/VR viewer. The processing unit receives the information acquired by the first optical device and/or the second optical device, processes same and on the basis thereof calculates a virtual trajectory with information related to the trajectory travelled by the tool in real space.
