For over 6+ years, we’ve worked with the Pixel Team at Google to conceptualize and build interactive and generative Wallpapers. Each Wallpaper is a calming, delightful portrait of the technical smarts behind Pixel.

The majority of our live wallpapers reflect environmental shifts or the owner's activity. They bloom as you pick up your phone, sway in response to sound or breeze. Others transport you to a different place, and some are just plain fun.
Express yourself with emojis
Pick a pattern, colors, and a few of your favorite Emojis—and let Pixel do the rest. Collaborating with the Emoji team, we helped bring to life this one-of-a-kind, fully customizable wallpaper in rich interactions and animations.

Unfold the next generation
For Pixel Fold, we developed a custom video decoder, and hooked it up to the hinge of the folding device for a smooth playback that celebrates every opening.

Transform your photos into cinematic scenes
Making people's photo backdrops more interesting by using image depth analysis to create subtle perspective shift, synchronized with interactions.

Wallpapers are a key part of our daily phone experience. By making them more dynamic and interesting, Google was able to positively impact the overall Pixel user experience – and brand perception. Feels Like continues to work on future versions.
