1. A welding system, comprising:
a display device;
a first weld position locator configured to determine position feedback of a welding torch;
a gyroscope configured to determine angular orientation feedback of the welding torch; and
a controller configured to:
determine a position of the welding torch based on the position feedback;
determine an angular orientation of the welding torch based on the angular orientation feedback; and
generate and output feedback of the torch position, based on the determined position and the determined angular orientation of the welding torch, via the display device.
