Cooliris, Inc. was a US corporation headquartered in San Francisco, CA, that developed photo viewing products on mobile, web, and desktop platforms. The company is best known for its signature user interface, the Cooliris 3D Wall, which provides a 3D-like immersive media-viewing experience.
In January 2010, Google, Inc. tapped Cooliris to develop Android Gallery, the official native photo application now installed on over 40 million smartphones running on the Android (operating system).
The company’s core product is the Cooliris mobile photo viewing and sharing app for iPad and iPhone, launched in July 2012.
Cooliris, Inc. is venture backed by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, T-Venture, DAG Ventures, The Westly Group and NTT DOCOMO.
On November 21, 2014, it was announced that Yahoo! had acquired Cooliris.
Cooliris (for Desktop), formerly known as PicLens, is a web browser extension developed by Cooliris, Inc. The plugin provides an interactive 3D-like experience for viewing digital images and videos from the web and from desktop applications. The software places a small icon atop image thumbnails that appear on a webpage. Clicking on the icon loads the Cooliris 3D Wall, a browsing environment that gives the user the effect of flying through a three-dimensional space.
Released to the public in January 2008, the New York Times described Cooliris as the "new immersive approach to Web navigation". Cooliris went out to win the 2008 Crunchies Award for Best Design. The plugin has received over 50 million downloads.
As of May 2014 browser plugins are unavailable from the official website. There are only links to tablet apps - for iOS and Android.
