Sharing some highlights of the final demos and works-in-progress session of #DIS2025 ✨ It was great to hear all about authors' most recent works and engage with prototypes hands-on. We even had a work-in-progress from our sponsors over at Adobe Research!

The second set of paper and pictorial sessions of the day was one to remember 😎 We discussed community resilience, user-driven design, prompt crafting, and shape-changing interfaces, among so many other fresh topics. #DIS2025
