An operational guide system (10) adapted to provide visual indicators to an individual to guide sequential actions includes at least one sensor apparatus (26), a controller (20), and at least one directional light device (22, 24). The sensor apparatus (26) is operable to detect operation information and generate an output indicative of the sensed operation information. The controller (20) receives at least a first input signal indicative of the operation information and selectively provides at least one command signal in response to the first input signal. The at least one directional light device (22, 24) being selectively operable to project and target at least one indicating light in response to the at least one command signal from the controller (20).
