Lincoln Electric’s welding VR training simulator shows that in the heart of America’s Rust Belt, the trades are making a comeback. In this video we show a literal hands-on experience of simulated stick welding lessons. The full immersive VR headset integrates handheld controllers with which users perform repair welds on a rollercoaster. 00:00 - What is Voyage™ Arc? 00:16 - 4 Steps to Learn About Welding 00:33 - View Welding at a Micro Scale 01:06 - Try it & Practice Technique 02:15 - Repair the Roller Coaster 03:10 - Enjoy a Ride! Roundtable Learning, a fellow Cleveland-based enterprise, teamed up with Lincoln Electric to deliver a gamified version of an in-demand skill and career prospect. This skills building exercise emphasizes safety, requiring learners to don their PPE first thing. But it’s not a beginner’s lesson either. With the use of handheld controllers, users learn the ultra-fine motor skills required to correctly weld a horizontal T-joint using stick welding. Properly called SMAW (Shield Metal Arc Welding), the learner is ensconced in a real shop setting and gets immediate feedback after each attempt. #industrialtraining #vrtraining VR Training Simulator Offers Precise, Objective Evaluation Their success in these attempted welds are measured, processed and delivered using Roundtable Learning’s flagship solution Mercury XRS (see below). Trainers can get a dashboard and granular breakdown of performance. But the learners themselves get immediate feedback with an on screen, Lincoln Electric-branded score board. Middle-school age learners who achieve three successful welds get to perform a simulated on-site repair weld for a rollercoaster. Successful welders can then take a simulated ride on the rollercoaster itself! Effective Visual, Audio Content and Prompts Throughout
  • Uses intuitive, kid-friendly-level controls and navigation
  • Crystal-clear, human/non-AI-voiced guidance plus realistic noise
  • Instructive text panels
  • Highlighted floating-action tools guide the learner in proper motions
  • Alternates between image representation of user’s hand and tools
Lincoln-Electric Branded On-Screen Scoreboard Offers Immediate Feedback After each attempt at a weld, the student gets an immediate evaluation of their performance and technique. A good weld requires razor-sharp attention on the VR training simulator headset and the handheld controllers.
  • Speed: controllers measure and rate speed of the weld
  • Tip distance: millimeter-precise measurement of welding rod tip distance from work surface
  • Work angle: measures work angle, comparing users technique to proper inclining of rod
