Abstract Zoom filter

This year many of us were forced to work at home. We’re using zoom a lot. It has benefits. A zoom session is efficient, but that’s also one of the disadvantages. In a group chat we’re missing the possibility to occasionally say or whisper something to our neighbour. Yes, you can request to be placed into a seperate break-out room, but that would put a lot of weight on a simple question like: how was your holiday? We’re missing the moments around our coffee machines at the office. Students are missing their libraries where they’re studying, motivated by the presence of other students, even without talking with them. Can Zoom offer such a similar experience? What if you can’t concentrate on your study material when a camera is pointed at you? There’s a solution. This MeetingPoint zoom-filter lets you be present – and feel the presence of others, without being in the picture yourself. Why such a basic avatar? Well, if you’re really using this filter to study and to have others keep an eye on your concentration, you don’t want to spend hours on configuring and styling your virtual representation. It’s for that reason that this filter has so little functionality, but thereby it hopes to be really functional.
