track, via the second sensor system, when the second sensor system is retained by the welding helmet, a position or orientation of the welding-type tool, or of an arc produced by the welding-type tool, relative to the second sensor system; and
determine a welding position or welding orientation of the welding-type tool, or the arc, relative to the reference point based on the helmet position and the helmet orientation relative to the reference point, the position or orientation of the welding-type tool, or the arc, relative to the second sensor system, and the vector relationship between the first sensor system and second sensor system.
