Claim 19:
20. The welding system of claim 15, the memory circuitry further comprising machine readable instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
monitor, via the first sensor system when the first sensor system is retained by the welding helmet, a helmet position and a helmet orientation of the welding helmet relative to a second reference point in a welding environment;
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 arc relative to the second sensor system, and the vector relationship between the first sensor system and second sensor system.
