not only on welding itself, but also on the preparatory activities, such as connect-
ing the welding torch or electrode holder and establishing the ground earth con-
nection.
Interaction with Reserving the management as well as the theoretical study of the courses and
the Welducation learning content for the Welducation Campus software results in the Welduca-
Campus soft- tion Simulators being used exclusively for specific welding tasks. The Welduca-
ware
tion Campus software is intended for external end devices, such as the supplied
Fronius tablet or smartphones, notebooks, and PCs.

Visualization

The NEXT welding helmet is used for visualization and 3D animation. This works
according to the principle of augmented reality. The trainees see the welding
torch or the stick electrode together with the arc and the workpiece with the res-
ulting weld as an animation. In addition, to orient them better, they also see their
environment and, for example, their own hands, as a real camera image.
Objectives and The standard equipment of the Welducation Simulator offers a wide range of
features of the welding scenarios. In addition to the MIG/MAG, TIG, and MMA processes, the
standard equip- variety of supplied workpieces ensures the trainees receive varied, practical
ment training.
In order to practice welding as realistically as possible, it was important to also
reproduce the system components as faithfully as possible. For example, the
simulated welding torch or electrode holder lies in the hand in exactly the same
way and with approximately the same weight as the real thing.
Both the welding torch or the electrode holder and the return lead cable for the
workpiece are connected as they would be in a real welding situation.
For this purpose, the NEXT welding
helmet is equipped with an optical
camera and an additional stereo cam-
era for tracking and integrating the vir-
tually displayed objects into the cam-
era image.
