Abstract
A safety system is configured to be worn by a user. The safety system includes a helmet, a transparent display screen coupled to the helmet and configured to provide eye safety for the user, the transparent display screen configured to display graphical information to the user in substantially real time. According to one embodiment, if a hazard is identified in a first route, the apparatus communicates an identification of the hazard for display to the user via the transparent display screen. Further, if the hazard is identified in the first route, the apparatus communicates an identification of a second route for display to the user via the transparent display screen, the second route avoiding the hazard with each of the first route and the second route rendered in the transparent display screen. According to various embodiments, the apparatus operates in substantially real time to evaluate conditions in the first route based on information provided by the at least one sensing system to determine whether the hazard exists.
