Usually we'd save a cool live wallpaper for our next roundup, but this one's just so groovy we had to let our readers know about it now. GyroSpace 3D is a live wallpaper that, like many others, uses your device's gyroscope for visual effects. But the space-scapes shown off in GyroSpace move around on a three-dimensional plane, coming in and out of the user's filed of view with remarkable smoothness. It's a neat effect that's not unlike a stereoscopic 3D screen, without the added hardware. Check out the video below for a demonstration.

There's a free version of GyroSpace available to everyone, though owners of older phones and tablets may find it a little taxing on their hardware. The free version has no options, just a very pretty default. The $1.59 USD paid version adds a bunch of settings to tweak, including distance, planetary rings, a pulsing background, and a rotation lock. GyroSpace 3D comes from Opotech, maker of another one of our live wallpaper favorites, Radiant Particles.

    Guess what would it do to the already unacceptable battery life of most smartphones...

      Downloaded it, I'll let you know tomorrow if you'd like some evidence one way or another.

        Yeah, it's not very intensive. Used 2% over the course of the day, same as having browsing Facebook a couple times.

    put on 3D glasses = profit? :D

  • b_to_the_randon

    OK, this is actually pretty cool. If nothing else I purchased it to support an innovative developer.

      You deserve a hug.

    This in 3D would be an andr-orgasm. I love it and bought the full version to support the dev and this apps future development.

    Pretty freaking cool, but you can kiss your battery life goodbye.

    Yes, I'm a cynical bastard, but.... we know there's bound to be a "boobs" version next week, right?

      What, precisely, is the problem with that? ;)

    Yup, great stuff! Got it as well, it reloads randomly or when I run out of ram, I'd think its fixable. Beautiful. Needs more color options please :D

    Great that it got featured on Google play, maybe my failing is my lack of simplicity http://www.app8ite.com/live-wallpapers/
