Advanced industrial safety notification systems

A method, comprising:

• scanning, by a system comprising a processor, a space surrounding the system;
• generating, by the system based on the scanning, mapping data that models objects and surfaces within the space surrounding the system;
• defining, by the system, a three-dimensional virtual safety shield around the system based on a defined minimum safe distance, wherein the defining comprises increasing a size of the virtual safety shield in response to determining that a velocity or an acceleration of a wearer of the system increases in excess of a defined velocity threshold or in response to determining that a trajectory of the wearer of the system satisfies a defined criterion;
• identifying, by the system based on a result of an analysis performed on the mapping data, an obstacle within the space surrounding the system;
• and
• in response to determining that the virtual safety shield overlaps with the obstacle, generating, by the system, a notification.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, in response to execution, cause a wearable device comprising a processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• scanning a vicinity surrounding the wearable device;
• generating, based on the scanning, mapping data that describes objects and surfaces within the vicinity;
• defining a three-dimensional virtual safety shield around the wearable device based on a defined minimum safe distance, wherein the defining comprises increasing a size of the virtual safety shield in response to determining that a velocity or an acceleration of the wearable device increases in excess of a defined velocity threshold or that a trajectory of the wearable device satisfies a defined criterion;
• identifying, based on a result of an analysis performed on the mapping data, an obstacle within the space surrounding the wearable device;
• and
• in response to determining that the virtual safety shield overlaps with the obstacle, generating a notification.
