The ‘Live Earth Wallpapers’ feature was ported by Pranav Pandey from XDA and works with all devices running Marshmallow or later.
You can grab a quick sneak peek of them from the below screenshots. Just like the other Pixel features, you can now enjoy the Live Earth Wallpapers on your device. The Live Earth Wallpapers are the combination of Google Earth’s high-definition satellite imagery along with a 3D parallax effect that changes viewers perspective as you swipe between screens. Google collaborated with a design agency called B-Reel to create stunning wallpapers for its premium tagged Pixel devices. He adds: “My hope then is this funny little project - along with Google Earth as a whole - moves us to care more deeply about this strange but kaleidoscopically beautiful planet.The Pixel and Pixel XL come with a lot of goodies from Google and the “Live Earth Wallpapers” are one of them. Shah is clearly passionate about Earth View and the amazing imagery that it offers, explaining that it has the ability to “elevate our minds from our tiny screens to outer space the landscapes that materialize when you open a new tab or unlock your phone punctuate your day with a global looking glass.” The two companies worked together to create a set of tools that enables efficient scanning of huge amounts of satellite imagery while maintaining fine camera control to get the best possible shot. The new imagery was gathered with the help of Germany-based Ubilabs, which makes interactive map applications for businesses. Shah also noted that the gallery now features “a nifty color map to help you visualize the thousands of Earth View locations, and find a landscape featuring your favorite color.” You’ll also find the images displayed as part of an interactive exhibit in Google Earth’s Voyager, with a handy “download wallpaper” link for each of the pretty pictures.
“The upgraded imagery features more locations around the globe and is optimized for today’s high-resolution screens - featuring brighter colors, sharper images, and resolutions up to 4K,” Gopal Shah, Google Earth product manager, wrote in a blog post introducing the new imagery.Īll of the new captures are available in the Earth View Gallery, as well as the Android Wallpapers app and the Earth View Chrome Extension.
