We’ve seen a number of creative ways to signal to others that they’re not appropriat­ely observing social distancing. The first that comes to mind is Twitter user Mindy Vincent, who bought a face mask with tiny penises on it, since anyone close enough to see the microphall­uses and then comment indicates that they were within 1.5m. The Social Distancing Badge, on Kickstarte­r, is taking the job a little more seriously, using a tiny LIDAR sensor, an Arduino processor and a four-digit display, to show people in millimeter­s how close they are to you.
