Pre-touch reaction is preferred over post-touch reaction in interaction with displayed agent.

ABSTRACT: A pre-touch reaction, which is a response before a physical contact, is an essential factor for natural human-agent interaction. Although numerous studies have investigated the effectiveness of pre-touch reaction design for virtual agents in virtual reality (VR) environments and robots in physical environments, one area remains underexplored: displayed agents, i.e., on-screen computer graphics agents. To design an appropriate pre-touch reaction for such a displayed agent, this article focused on the display's physical boundary as a criterion for the pre-touch reaction of the agent. This article developed a displayed agent system that can detect both the touch events on the screen and the pre-touch behaviors of the interacting people around the display. This study examined the effect
