1. A system for visualizing scattered radiation, said system comprising:
a number of visualization devices;
a number of human position tracking devices, each for a number of individuals in a facility where radiation exposure occurs;
a controller in electronic communication with each of the number of visualization devices and comprising executable software instructions stored at one or more electronic storage devices, which when executed, configure one or more processors to:
receive position data for a radiation producing equipment item in the facility;
receive position data from each of the position tracking devices;
generate a visualization at a display portion of each of the number of visualization devices, wherein the visualization indicates an estimated location and intensity of scattered radiation from the radiation producing equipment item and a location of each of the number of individuals relative to the scattered radiation; and
update the visualization as updated position data is received from each of the position tracking devices.
