OPPO launched a ray-tracing 3D dynamic real-time interactive wallpaper at the Game Developers Conference (GDC). This wallpaper product is the first time that ray tracing technology has been implemented on mobile phones. Launched the software application store in half a year.
At the same time, the wallpaper development tool will also be launched on the OPPO open platform to support the free creation of developers, artists, and designers.

Moreover, the application of ray tracing technology on mobile phones has gradually become one of the most cutting-edge development directions of ray tracing technology. In 2021, OPPO will take the lead in realizing the “Call of Duty Mobile Game” scene light tracking technology demonstration on the Reno6 PRO Dimensity 1200 version.
At this year’s GDC, OPPO’s light-chasing technology has been upgraded again, showing the light-chasing 3D live wallpaper. Through technical algorithm optimization, it can drive more complex scenes and higher-level effects, and double the operating efficiency of light-chasing.
Compared with the previous generation of light tracking technology, OPPO uses the computing power of the chip, the self-developed BVH solution, and the optimization of the effect rendering algorithm to achieve the refraction effect in the wallpaper that was not available last year.
Moreover, this ray tracing technology adopts a hybrid rendering method, which can simultaneously achieve a variety of light rendering effects: refraction, shadow, reflection, and the refraction effect of transparent body light that requires great computing power.
The current 3D live wallpapers in the mobile industry are mainly offline renderings, which are pre-made MP4 videos. The dynamic presentation of wallpaper is done by playing pre-recorded videos, which lacks interaction with mobile phone users, and the effect is not realistic enough.
This time, the light-chasing wallpaper is rendered in real-time. With the benefit of gyroscope and light-chasing technology, users can experience the changes of light and shadow on the wallpaper brought by different gestures by interacting with the screen, rotating the mobile phone, etc.
The light-chasing live wallpaper app is planned to be launched in the second half of 2022. Users can download it in the OPPO app store and enable the light-chasing function on certain models. At the same time, the wallpaper function will also be launched on the OPPO open platform in the form of SDK, providing developers, artists, designers, etc. with free creation.
The SDK will support self-designed light-chasing wallpapers, light source design, light effect customization, and other gameplay. Ray-tracing 3D live wallpaper is one of OPPO’s many attempts to implement ray-tracing technology, and it will also cover multiple directions of games and non-games in the future.
Furthermore, GDC is the world’s largest annual professional conference and exhibition for game developers, providing a platform for game developers to exchange technologies and gain inspiration.
