We implemented experimental conditions in eight time slots (2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, and 11). Some of these time slots contained only walking directions (Supplementary intervention = None), while others contained both walking directions and a supplementary intervention. SDSs were not handed out during the remaining time slots (1, 5, and 8). Six experimental conditions lasted two hours, while two lasted one hour. Except in the buzzer conditions, the SDS was covered in a black bag so the flashing light was invisible. Note that the sum of the number of visitors across conditions differs from the reported n = 639 visitors who wore an SDS, because some people stayed inside the art fair during multiple conditions.
aThe SDS requires to always select at least one form of feedback (light, buzzer, sound). In conditions during which the SDS should not provide feedback (face mask, no supplementary intervention), we set the settings to light, and provided black bags to cover the SDS, such that no feedback was received.
