Backgrounds for Online Meetings

Homebird

My work has recently introduced a corporate background for people to use, which is a representation of a town so has lots of small buildings. I found it difficult to look at when several people were using it as it felt too busy and thought a plainer office background would be helpful. I find at home less clutter is more relaxing. 

Does anyone else experience this problem with backgrounds?

  • I do and tend to view it in a hypothetical  that doesn't have to make sense to anyone else, but its not a bad conjecture i'd not think. Perhaps backgrounds depend on what mode we want our mind to be in when backgrounds are significant assuming yours is autistic ? A cluttered background can mean nothing since like with noise sensory people we adapt & hence background noise needs to mean nothing if people are to move on & not be hindered by it. Beyond this i'd feel that is decent reason to suggest that the high HFA mind likes plain backgounds of any colour as we in many ways some project conscious imagination with elements of Pareidolia. 'Noise' btw is expressed as an important term in visual salience, as not all noise is discussed as sound. Noise is also a useful term philosophgy of the mind.

    But anyway.

    And i'll stress some as it will not be everyones experience. Furthermore i feel such suggestion is not to be confused with any new age or supernautral interests in this direction. Many of which took such curiosity because it is a provocative subject in cognitive terms, and anyway person are free to interpret they way they like. Personally i'd interpret it in a more grounded perceptual vision way, as an interaction between the conscious mind and the preconscious. Hence in that sense the plain backgrounds no matter what colour where the retinal membrane is remarkably able to sense texture via photons of light & we can stare at plain backgrounds with not too much conscious sense of this & get creative response with an autistic mind. i feel that the effect ( pareidolla ) is quite well rationally speculated along those kinds of line, where we are in efect speaking of subtle after images on the retinal membrane.. Again far be it to impugn the spiritual people, some of whom like to sense psychic phenomenon. That is their choice & in many ways they might get good outcomes of heart. In a more formal setting though i tend to flow with freud, jung, the gestalt schools and what is known from psychophysics.

    But there you are.

    Good luck at work be it zooming it, being there, and whatever the backdrop here or there.
