Claim 7:
8. A weld training system, comprising:
a welding simulator configured to conduct a welding simulation, the welding simulator comprising:
processing circuitry, and
a computer readable storage device comprising computer readable instructions which, when executed, cause the processing circuitry to:
execute an application associated with the welding simulation,
determine whether a transition command has been received, and
in response to determining the transition command has been received, transition the application to a simulated welding mode,
wherein determining whether the transition command has been received comprises determining whether the welding simulator has been physically connected to a welding accessory, whether there has been a recognition of a marker or pattern in one or more images, whether a transition input has been received from a welding tool communicatively coupled with the welding simulator, whether a sensor detects a simulator orientation of the welding simulator, or an accessory orientation of the welding accessory, that is associated with the transition command, whether a transition voice command has been received, or whether an assigned and uncompleted training exercise, task, goal, or activity has been selected.
