This paper focuses on encouraging people to use a hand sanitizer more frequently by applying the nudge theory to improve hand hygiene behavior in private organizations. We propose a system that recognizes hand hygiene behavior using face recognition and detects hand sanitizer use. The system responds to the user's personal hand hygiene behavior with animation of a virtual bonsai as an interactive agent. To preserve user privacy, we implemented the system on an edge device and conducted experiments for 4 case studies in 2 real-world organizations. The results showed that the system improved the hand hygiene behavior of people in a private organization.","PeriodicalId":183962,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 21th ACM International Conference on Intelligent Virtual Agents","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115607415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
