Abstract
A device for indicating appropriate social distancing includes the ability to project light (in various forms and in a various ways) onto the ground in a manner visible by the user and those around them. A boundary of the projected light can be set to an acceptable social distance and can include different colors to indicated varying social distances for varying levels of trusted individuals. Proximity sensors set to appropriate distancing requirements, along with the varying levels of trust can be implemented into multiple devices being used in a group setting.

A social distance device, comprising:
- a wearable base configured to be positioned on a person;
- at least one light source configured to directly emit light onto the ground at least in front of the person in a predetermined pattern to visually represent a predetermined safe social distance;
- a proximity sensor connected to or integrated with the wearable base and configured to sense the presence of an object or person that is within the predetermined safe social distance from the wearable base;
- and
- at least one indicator light configured to respond to the proximity sensor and illuminate when the presence of an object or person is sensed to be within the predetermined safe social distance.
- wherein the at least one indicator light is integrated with the at least one light source such that the at least one indicator light is a different color light projected onto the ground than a color of light projected onto the ground to visually represent the predetermined safe social distance.
