Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes: detecting, by a virtual wearable computing device, a hazardous condition based on monitoring a proximity of a user wearing the virtual wearable computing device to a physical obstruction; and alerting, by the virtual wearable computing device, the user regarding the detection of the hazardous condition.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- detecting, by a virtual wearable computing device communicating with a network and using a profile, a hazardous condition based on monitoring a proximity of a user to a physical obstruction and based on an anticipated travel path or anticipated movements;
- and
- generating an alert, by the virtual wearable computing device, based on the detection of the hazardous condition.
A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a virtual wearable computing device to cause the virtual wearable computing device to:
- detect, by communication with a network and using a profile, a hazardous condition based on monitoring a proximity of a user to a physical obstruction and based on an anticipated travel path or anticipated user movements;
- and
- generate an alert based on the detection of the hazardous condition.
A system comprising:
- a CPU, a computer readable memory and a computer readable storage medium associated with a virtual wearable computing device;
- program instructions to detect, by communication with a network and using a profile, a hazardous condition based on monitoring a proximity of a user to a physical obstruction and based on an anticipated travel path or anticipated movements;
- and
- program instructions to generate an alert based on the detection of the hazardous condition,
- wherein the program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage medium for execution by the CPU via the computer readable memory.
