1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a computing device comprising a processor, an input from an operator device, wherein the input facilitates determining a task to be performed;
controlling, by the computing device, orientation of a light device with respect to a first location in a workplace in response to receiving the input, wherein the first location is associated with the task to be performed;
receiving, by the computing device, a first voice input from the operator device, indicative of an exception encountered during execution of the task;
controlling, by the computing device, a display screen of the first light device to display a query in response to the first voice input from the operator device, wherein the query is associated with the exception encountered during the execution of the task;
receiving, by the computing device, a second voice input from the operator device in response to the displayed query; and
modifying the task to determine a new task based on each of:
a determination that the first voice input is indicative of the exception encountered during execution of the task, and
the second voice input;
wherein the new task corresponds to handling the exception encountered during execution of the task.
