I played with one at the Eastec show about a year & a half ago. I've never
done any welding except O/A about 50 years ago, and it was very
interesting. I did OK for my first weld, but clearly need a bit more
practice. It provides real-time feedback on what you are doing wrong, and
I was improving as I went.


That's what I like about the whole idea. Quick feedback has to get you
up to speed a lot faster.


Definitely a great gadget for a vocational school.
