It can also highlight areas with energized machinery or PPE areas.

Why wouldn't signs work? Plus everyone can read them with or without headset.

Signs do work sometimes, but that doesn't really cover moving vehicles or overhead crane work. I work in a manufacturing plant with millions of square feet of floor space. You wouldn't believe the number of outdated signs there are.

You get forklifts now that project a light fence on the ground.

I think technology can, and should, be used to create visual, audible, and tactile health and safety warnings first and foremost. A heads up display is better used for productivity instead of safety.

Just like online, people ignore/tune out signs since most are advertising anyway.
