Abstract
The disclosed wearable device systems include several features for alerting and guiding persons who are approaching other persons in order to promote social distancing. Sensor data from wearable devices that are disposed in an article of apparel are used to determine the presence of a human person within a detection zone around the article of apparel. The detection zone is created based on sound waves generated by sonar-based proximity detectors mounted on the article of apparel. The system could be used to warn a person who breaches the user's detection zone to maintain a safe distance.
