An XR system assists with limitations of traditional welding education, by providing realtime, in-helmet, and in-situ feedback and response to augment the educational experience

By enabling users to encounter real behaviors, forces, sounds, and overall experience of an active weld, we provide a novel in-situ experience with spatial and biometric analysis
The designed system allows us to explore other aspects of embodied learning in welding practice, including the analysis of biometric data, performance analysis, and the inclusion of meditation to further augment the educational experience.
Visual XR Guides and Integrated Motion Sensing
Combined motion-sensing and visual XR feedback helps improve proprioceptive and embodied learning
Sensing Sonic Cues During Welding Practice
Acoustic sensing focuses learner attention on non-visual cues of weld performance
Mediated Meditation and Regulation
Biometric sensing enhances mindfulness and stress management in sensorially challenging environments
