Approaches for improving the user experience when interacting with touchless displays have been proposed, such as using activation gestures and representing users as avatars in real-time.

We also compare users’ willingness to promote the interaction setup, perceived task difficulty, and time consumed to perform four different tasks in each configuration. We found that using a squared arrangement of elements, adopting activation gestures to trigger actions, and showing a moving avatar, resulted in the highest perceived usability and user …
