Abstract

The impact of COVID-19 pandemic to our society may be unprecedented. While an effective cure or vaccine is under development, maintaining social distance is an essential step in defending personal as well as public health. This study conceptualizes the social distance nudge, while developing and validating a choice architecture that aims to influence and modify users’ behavior in maintaining social distance for self-interest. Data concerning distance calibration was collected, and a nudging simulation was conducted in August 2020. Future work will consider including environment sensor data to improve nudging accuracy and behavioral studies to better understand user experience.
