Disclosed herein are systems and methods that relate to a modular protective system designed to be worn or incorporated into a helmet that prevent collisions with other stationary or moving objects by providing a visual and/or audible signal to the user. The system is composed of sensors that provide both directional and velocity information related to objects within the device/wearers surroundings. A computer device receives this information and translates it into a collision path and notifies the wearer of a possible collision and its trajectory.
