Abstract:
Approaches enable three-dimensional (3D) display and interaction with interfaces (such as a webpage, an application, etc.) when the device is operating in a 3D view mode. For example, interface elements can be highlighted, emphasized, animated, or otherwise altered in appearance, and/or arrangement in the renderings of those interfaces based at least in part on an orientation of the device or a position of a user using the device. Further, the 3D view mode can provide for an animated 3D departure and appearance of elements as the device navigates from a current page to a new page. Further still, approaches provide for the ability to specify 3D attributes (such as the appearance, action, etc.) of the interface elements. In this way, a developer of such interfaces can use information (e.g., tags, CSS, JavaScript, etc.) to specify a 3D appearance change to be applied to at least one interface element when the 3D view mode is activated.

Abstract:
A user of a computing device may view a content page on a display of a computing device. One aspect of the disclosure is a browser user interface than enables the user to flip the content page (or portion thereof) over (e.g., via a touchscreen gesture) to view supplemental content, such as metadata, associated with the content page (or portion thereof). While viewing the metadata on the back side of the content page in some embodiments, the user can perform a second or reverse flip operation to return to the original page. The user may be presented with options to flip the page backward and forward multiple times to view multiple flipped pages presenting additional supplemental content. The supplemental content may include virtually any information in which the user may be interested and/or that is related or similar to the content page.

Abstract:
A browser interface is described for displaying predictive content that is predicted to be interesting to a user. In one embodiment, a forward button in a browser may become a predictive forward button when the user is at the end of a history stack. By selecting the predictive forward button, the user may access predictive content, such as content related to one or more pages viewed during the current browsing session. In some embodiments, the user can sequentially select the predictive forward button any number of times to iteratively explore new content, such as content that is related to other content viewed during the current session.

Abstract:
Approaches to enable a computing device, such as a phone or tablet computer, to determine when a user viewing the content is being distracted or is generally viewing the content with a sufficient level of irregularity, and present an audible representation of the content during the times when the user is deemed distracted. The determination of when the user is distracted or is otherwise viewing the content with irregularity can be performed using sensor data captured by one or more sensors of the computing device. For example, the computing device may analyze the image data captured by one or more cameras, such as by tracking the movement/location of eye pupils of the user and/or tracking the head movement of the user to detect when the user is distracted.
