1. A non-transitory machine readable medium comprising machine readable instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
determine a first target position and a first target orientation for a target tool image based on one or more target welding technique parameters;
identify an actual position and an actual orientation of a welding tool based on sensor data received from a sensor of a welding headgear;
compare the actual position of the welding tool with the first target position of the target tool image; and
in response to determining the first target position of the target tool image is more than a threshold distance from the actual position of the welding tool: reset, or provide an option to reset, the first target position of the target tool image to a second target position that is closer to the actual position of the welding tool.
