History

The company was initially best known for its signature user interface, the Cooliris 3D Wall, which provided a 3D-like immersive media-viewing experience.[5]

In January 2010, Google, Inc. tapped Cooliris to develop Android Gallery, a native photo application installed on over 40 million smartphones then running the Android operating system.[6] The company’s core product was the Cooliris mobile photo viewing and sharing app for iPad and iPhone, launched in July 2012.[7]

On November 21, 2014, Cooliris was acquired by Yahoo!.[8]
