In December 2013, it was announced that Keane joined "Motorola's" Advanced Technology and Projects Group to help its engineers create interactive hand-drawn animation. He released his first animated short, "Duet", at the Google I/O Conference in San Francisco on June 25, 2014. It is the first hand-drawn cartoon made at 60 frames per second, and the third in a series of shorts, called the Spotlight Stories, designed to explore spatial awareness and the sensory inputs of a mobile device to create distinctive storytelling experiences. When Google sold its Motorola subsidiary in early 2014, Keane and his group remained there.
