Your Windows 11 wallpaper should “come to life” thanks to artificial intelligence


Microsoft develops an AI feature to generate a parallax effect on background images in Windows 11 and create a feeling of interaction and movement

A future Windows 11 update could introduce a new AI feature to an unexpected place: the screen background. According to documents obtained from the Windows Latest website, the Microsoft Test a visual effects tool to make backgrounds more interactive.



According to the publication, this new feature would be able to create a parallax effect in the image used as a background to generate a sensation of movement and depth perception.

Wallpaper comes to life

The proposed application of artificial intelligence is to make the background “come to life” and respond visually when the user passes the cursor over the image or moves the device itself.

It is possible that the feature works better on more modern devices that have adequate sensors to detect movements. However, this does not mean that the function will only be available on tablets as interaction will also be possible via the mouse.

It’s worth noting that this new background mode is still being documented internally and isn’t expected to arrive even in trial versions of Windows 11.

Investments in artificial intelligence by Microsoft

The “parallax effect” drawing on the background of the screen accompanies the announcement of a series of products that use Microsoft’s artificial intelligence.

One such initiative is a feature for the Windows 11 app store that uses artificial intelligence to summarize reviews and highlight user opinions.

Additionally, other business applications, such as Photos, Capture Tool and the classic Paint should soon acquire new functions with the help of machine learning algorithms and models.

A Microsoft has scheduled a special event for September 21st in which it should announce other innovations in the field of artificial intelligence for Windows 11, in addition to the products of the Surface line.
