A micro-hazard monitoring system detects and addresses micro-hazards in a user's environment. The system directs the user to traverse the environment, gathering mapping data for the space and objects found there. The system maps the user's environment, noting the locations and types of objects. Movement and wear simulations are performed on the mapped space advancing time to estimate the likelihood of damaging user/object interactions and the extents of any resulting damage, based on information in that map, the system notes potential problems and computes one or more micro-hazard scores reflecting the nature and severity of the potential problems. If a score so warrants, the system takes remedial action to address the micro-hazard, such as warning the user about the existence of the micro-hazard and potentially what to do about it and/or taking a direct action such as shutting off an electronic device.
