1. A virtual reality welding system, comprising:
- a programmable processor-based subsystem;
a spatial tracker operatively connected to the programmable processor-based subsystem;
at least one mock welding tool configured to be spatially tracked by the spatial tracker;
at least one user interface configured to allow a user to perform one or more of inputting information into the system and making selections; and
a communication component operatively connected to the programmable processor-based subsystem and configured to access an external communication infrastructure,wherein the virtual reality welding system is configured to direct a user to one or more pre-identified web sites on the internet, in response to a user request, related to welding education and theory via the external communication infrastructure using the communication component.
