Virtual backgrounds: Once mostly encountered in theme parks or more entertainment-driven domains, it has now entered into our everyday lives, as flocks of us take to Zoom or other video chat applications to keep in touch with friends and hold work meetings. And there are tons of options out there, from sophisticated office set-ups to classic artworks, to serve as settings for more professional meet-ups.

Why not have a bit of fun, though? Here, The Peak curates some entertainment companies – Pixar, DC Comics, FOX channel, Lionsgate and Studio Ghibli – that are providing virtual backgrounds so you can be enveloped in scenes from your favourite animation, cartoon or movie. That might just be the thing to inject some lightheartedness into conversations, as we make interplanetary contact with other social spheres orbiting in the distance around us.
