Abstract

Onew360 is a training simulator for simulating gas metal arc welding (GMAW) welding. This system is comprised of standard welding hardware components (helmet, gun, work-piece), a PC, a head-mounted display, a tracking system for both the torch and the user´s head, and external audio speakers. The track model of welding simulator using single-camera vision measurement technology to calculate the position of the welding gun and helmet, and the simulation model using simple model method to simulate the weld geometry based on the orientation and speed of the welding torch. So that the system produce a realistic, interactive, and immersive welding experience.
