Digital Well-being Live Wallpaper: Generative Art

Transform your device into a canvas of mindfulness with our unique Live Wallpaper that not only enhances your screen's aesthetic but also encourages you to reduce screen time and increase face-to-face interactions. This innovative wallpaper uses generative art to create a dynamic visual experience based on your touch interactions.

How It Works

Each time you touch your screen, a vibrant circle appears at the point of contact. Simultaneously, a square emerges from the last touch point and moves towards the newly created circle, leaving behind a colorful trail. This creates an engaging, ever-evolving artwork that reflects your interaction patterns.

To promote digital well-being, the screen refreshes after every 3600 squares, symbolizing a full day's worth of interactions (1d:13h:3600 squares). This refresh not only resets the visual landscape but also keeps a count of the total squares drawn, offering a unique visual comparison to how we perceive time and track our screen usage.

Visual Experience and Color Dynamics

The wallpaper plays with a soothing palette of colors, designed to be visually appealing yet calming. As you interact, the colors of the circles and squares shift subtly, creating a heat map of your most-used screen areas. This not only adds to the aesthetic appeal but also subtly reminds you of your digital habits.

Promoting Less Screen Time, More Face Time

Our goal is to encourage users to spend less time on their devices and more time engaging with the world around them. The visual reminder of your screen interactions helps you become more mindful of your digital well-being, prompting you to take breaks and connect more with others in real life.
