Live/Active Wallpapers on the desktop

[boomboompow]

Just came back from a presentation by a vendor and I noticed one of the attendees had a very neat wallpaper/desktop... and I need to know where to find it!

Basically it looked like your standard windows desktop but the wallpaper was "live", i.e. it was a landscape picture of a corner on a race track (looked like it could of been any corner on the nordschleife and the point of view was as if you were standing spectating the track). Every 10-20 seconds a car would navigate the corner.

Sometimes it was a Exige taking the racing line, once it was a M5 power sliding around the corner, anther time two rally cars fought for best entry position before going round the corner side by side in slow-mo... and this was his desktop!

The weather and light seemed to change on it as well resulting in spray and light glare; the graphics were clearly created (think Forza 3 rather than real life clips)- anyone heard of it before? And more importantly where I can find it?

Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to speak to the guy before we were ushered away

Google "active wallpaper". Should give you a few results.

Ah! I did try "live wallpaper" in google but didn't get what I was looking for; "active" has returned quite a few results - will have a good rake around this evening!

Probably just Windows 7. Comes with a series of themes as a demo or you can make your own from a collection of images (which is what this person has probably done). Can be set to change every 10 seconds if needed.
