Zusammenfassung:A real-time virtual reality welding system (100, 2000, 2400) including a programmable processor-based subsystem (110), a spatial tracker (120) operatively connected to the programmable processor-based subsystem (110), at least one mock welding tool (160) capable of being spatially tracked by the spatial tracker (120), and at least one display device operatively connected to the programmable processor-based subsystem (110). The system (100, 2000, 2400) is capable of simulating, in virtual reality space, a weld puddle having real-time molten metal fluidity and heat dissipation characteristics. The system (100, 2000, 2400) is further capable of displaying the simulated weld puddle on the display device in real-time.
