摘要

A system (400) for aiding a user In at least one of welding, cutting, joining, and cladding operations is provided. The system (400) includes a welding tool (460) and a welding helmet (12) with a face-mounted display. The system (400) also Includes a spatial tracker (420) configured to track the welding helmet (12) and the welding tool (460) In 3-D space relative to an object to be worked on. A processor based subsystem (410) 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.
