While ray-tracing technology has gained popularity mainly thanks to video games, engineers Oppo they have found an equally original use of it. The company has released a special dynamic wallpaper for mobile devices that uses RTX effects to display various lighting effects.
A feature of Oppo's solution is the use of real-time ray tracing. Unlike watching pre-recorded clips, users can interact with the screen, rotate and move the smartphone, and use various gestures to change the lighting angle and the shadow effects on the screen. To do this, Oppo uses smartphone hardware and one special rendering algorithm.

The company has already announced three types of original wallpapers, which are expected to be available in the company's app store in the second half of the year. The list of devices supporting innovation has not yet been announced. The seller also promised to release a software development kit for artists and designers to submit their work on the Oppo online platform.
We expect that the only smartphones capable of running this system will be those of the Find X5 series, equipped with a particularly powerful hardware. However, it is not said that even those of the Find X3 series will be able to use it.
