1. A fixture, comprising:
a housing, comprising:
an output device selected from a list consisting of a light, a projector, and a speaker; and
at least one sensor selected from the list consisting of: a motion detector, a camera, a video camera, a proximity sensor, a voice processor, and an infrared detector; and
a fixture computing system communicatively coupled to the output device and the sensor, the computing system comprising:
a processor; and
non-transitory computer memory comprising programming, the programming comprising:
an action screening module for determining a presence of a situation at a location based on information from the sensor, an alert generation module for generating an alert via the output device based on the presence of the situation, and a response generation module for generating a request for a response from a remote module communicatively coupled to the fixture computing system.
