In case you hadn't seen it, if you're interested in design, there are some amazing projects and demos from the @acmdis2020 #acmdis2020 conference online at present, showing the latest experiments and thinking in new forms of interaction design from researchers all over the world

@acmdis2020 is tweeting themed sets of projects and presentations each day https://twitter.com/acmdis2020  but I thought I'd highlight a few that I've really enjoyed or been intrigued by
