What's just as impressive is the full size view of the image. The background brings the ambient colour of the photo to make it more immersive. Very nice!

- wingerlang 13y agoI agree, that looks very nice. I might be wrong here but I think the background is just the picture, although scaled and has got many filters on it.
- wtracy 13y agoThat's an idea I've actually seen done but executed poorly many times. What they got right this time is adding the shadow around the image making it easy to distinguish from the background, and blurring it so heavily that none of the detail is distracting. Very nicely done.
- ethanbond 13y agoRdio's app (rdio.com) also nails this.
- tericho 13y agoRdio does some fantastic design work. Just a shame their engineering is so bad that I can't even use the app.
- ethanbond 13y agoTheir design is just fantastic - especially with the latest update which added better Stations support. When it was first released it was wicked snappy and kind of slowed way down for a while and got annoying - agreed. In the past month or two, though, it's gotten damn responsive (for me at least). Give it another shot if you haven't used it recently.
- jtreitz 13y agoActually, you're right! It's the same picture, scaled down to around 500x500 and with a heavy gaussian blur applied to it. The trick is to have a subtle grain effect over it to eliminate gradient artifacts.
- risratorn 13y agoNice catch ... it so subtle i didn't notice but none the less a very nice feature. Love the execution of their idea!
- sigkill 13y agoIt's almost but not quite entirely like the philips ambilight concept. I like it.
