Smart welding helmet modules with adaptable helmet devices

A welding helmet, comprising:

• a user interface comprising one or more input devices and one or more output devices;
• a visor lens comprising an adaptable lens, a display screen, or an auto-darkening filter;
• a sensor configured to detect a worn status of the welding helmet, the sensor configured to output a sensor signal representative of the worn status;
• and
• processing circuitry configured to:
• determine, based on the sensor signal, the worn status of the welding helmet, the worn status being indicative of the welding helmet being worn, worn in a raised position, worn in a lowered position, or not worn, and
• configure the visor lens, the one or more input devices, or a speaker of the one or more output devices based on the worn status.
