Google Workshop project looks to bring customization to Nexus accessories

Google appears to be working on a new method to custom accessories for Nexus devices that is currently dubbed Google Workshop. From the looks of it, Google may have learned a few things from their Motorola experiment, including the Moto Maker platform for creating customized Moto X devices. Google Workshop takes some of those same concepts and applies them to the production of cases and live wallpapers for the Nexus 5. It is unclear whether it would expand to other devices if it goes live.


Google has developed a couple different tools to develop customizations. One of them is called MapMe and works by scanning a users account for things like a hometown or an entry about a special meeting with someone. The case design and wallpaper then pull in Google Maps type images. For the wallpaper, it appears Google can even do things like add location-specific tweets or weather with which the user can interact.


The second tool is called Moments and is driven more by the user via uploaded photos. Users are given options to reposition images to highlight certain areas and add filters and messages. One photo is used for the case, but several images can be added to create a live wallpaper of rotating images.


There is no information yet regarding availability or what devices Google may include if it decides to proceed.
