Could you build this?

No Accurate VR welding training requires physics simulations of molten weld pools, heat distribution, multi-process physics (SMAW/MIG/TIG), and integration with specialized physical torch hardware.

What it would actually take: Built with Unity or Unreal Engine using custom C++ compute shaders for real-time computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and thermodynamics of the melt pool, coupled with custom hardware/IMU tracking interfaces for the physical welding torch.
