Fronius Welducation App conveys welding information through play

Fronius has launched the new Welducation Basic App to help welders build up their knowledge while having fun. It has a game function that enables users to experience welding interactively and features a quiz that conveys useful information on the joining process.

The app conveys information on welding through play. In the quiz, users choose their answer from four options and are told immediately whether they were correct. To complete a round of the game, users must answer 10 questions. The scores then are shown in order of ranking. An international high score ranking allows users to compare themselves with all app users worldwide.

Those who prefer to learn through practice rather than theory can gain experience in the game app with virtual welding. The touchscreen becomes a workpiece and the user’s finger becomes a welding torch. The virtual trainer supports the player by showing the ideal welding speed and position using color signals. The aim is to score as many points as possible through consistent and accurately welded seams. Users can also save their points from the game in the online rankings.
