- This wallpaper is created for the OnePlus 8T with the OxygenOS 11’s launch. It’s an interactable live wallpaper; the wallpaper will change according to users’ usage data and behavior.
- The most challenging part is figuring out a good connection between the data meaning, wallpaper artwork, and the story we want to tell.
- Time means a lot to people; applying sunlight color on the glass lenses looks very beautiful, and their connections are strong. We care about digital wellbeing, show the sunlight color when users wake up the device makes it noticeable, and it also tells a good story of how time slipping by silently. Plus, we let the lenses spinning according to the swipe direct and the speed to make the wallpaper also playable and joyful.
- This wallpaper turned out to be the most successful data wallpaper in OnePlus, having good reviews on media, getting a good score from our users (4.2 out of 5), inspiring several hero features of OxygenOS 11; we also applied a patent for the algorithm behind.
Looking back…
- To figure out and get surprised to know how the wallpaper connects to your data is joyful, but to have a place introducing the design can help to spread out the design thoughts to more audiences, I should add it.
- The accumulating of data can show something more than the data itself. Digital wellbeing is something users care about nowadays. If we gather and visualize the device usage data we collected and allow users to check, it will amplify and create more self-reflection chances.
