A computer implemented method of training an operator of a video management system, the method comprising inputting, into the video management system, a plurality of virtual video streams generated by virtual video cameras within a dynamic 3D virtual environment; displaying on a display, from the virtual management system, at least some of the said virtual video streams, wherein at least one output video stream shows an event of interest; receiving, in the computer, at least one command from the operator indicative of a detection of the event of interest in the dynamic 3D virtual environment by the operator.

Described herein are examples of weld training systems that show (e.g., transparent and/or translucent) “ghost” images of a welding tool on a display screen of a welding headgear to indicate target positions and/or target orientations of an actual welding tool. In some examples, the weld training systems may additionally “reset” the target tool image to a position closer to the actual welding tool if the target tool image gets too far away. The ability to “reset” the target tool image to a position closer to the actual welding tool may help in minimizing a risk that an operator 106 will overcompensate to try to catch up with the target tool image, which can be detrimental to the weld. Additionally, resetting the target tool image to a position closer the welding tool may allow an operator to better perceive and/or understand differences in orientation and/or other technique parameters.
