I have teamed up with @chatgrapevine a revolutionary new chat platform that allows you to create an avatar, network in a 3D space and dynamically switch conversations with each other.
During the pandemic, the fun house mirror of Zoom twisted the images being reflected back to us. Although trapped inside, we were still bombarded with edited images on social media and TV. These factors combined had a damaging impact on self-perception, anxiety and mental health.
Front-facing cameras distort your image, making noses look bigger and eyes smaller. This effect is exacerbated by proximity to the lens, which is generally nearer to you than a person would ever stand in real life.
Zoom dysmorphia is following us into the real world. A survey of more than 7,000 people suggests the mental scars of the coronavirus will stay with us for some time.
