History

Cooliris became well-known for its innovative Cooliris 3D Wall interface, which provided users with a visually engaging, three-dimensional media browsing experience.

In January 2010, Google, Inc. selected Cooliris to create the Android Gallery app, a native photo application pre-installed on more than 40 million Android smartphones. The company's premier offering evolved into the Cooliris mobile photo viewing and sharing application for the iPad and iPhone, introduced in July 2012.

On November 21, 2014, Yahoo! completed its acquisition of Cooliris.
