Abstract
A wearable device for spacing awareness including a housing assembly and an electronics assembly is disclosed. The housing assembly includes a housing which includes a lens. The housing includes a securing clip at a rear side to easily attach the housing to a wearer. Within the housing is the electronics assembly. The electronics assembly includes sensors securing within the housing and behind the lens. The sensors being infrared sensors that detect when someone is too close to the wearer through heat detection. The lens help improve the function of the sensors. When the sensors detect a person is too close to the wear a laser beam is emitted. The laser beam indicates how far from the wearer other people must remain so that proper social distancing is achieved. With proper social distancing the likelihood of cross contamination from air borne diseases, bacteria and viruses is reduced.
