1. A method comprising:
detecting, by a wearable display device (“WDD”), one or more environmental vibrations that originate from a vibration source, wherein the WDD is worn by a user, and the vibration source is located in an environment that is proximate to the WDD;
identifying, based on the one or more environmental vibrations, an alert condition related to the vibration source;
generating, in response to the alert condition, an augmented notification for the WDD; and
providing, by the WDD, the augmented notification to the user;
determining, from the one or more environmental vibrations, a relative position of the vibration source;
generating, based on the relative position, direction information that indicates the relative position of the vibration source to the user; and
updating, based on the direction information and before the providing, the augmented notification.
