    Abstract: In a general aspect, a computer-implemented method can include storing, on one or more remote servers, preferences specific to a user for augmented user interface (AUI) functionality on a local computer and receiving, at the one or more remote servers via a web browser running on the local computer, a request to login the user. The computer-implemented method can also include, in response to the request, providing from the one or more remote servers to the local computer, one or more application programming interface (API) plug-ins to provide, in the web browser, the AUI functionality on the local computer, wherein the provided AUI functionality conforms to the user's preferences stored on the one or more remote servers.

    Abstract: A method and system for video encoding assets for swivel/360-degree spinners is disclosed. Still images of a 3D object from different perspectives about the 3D object may be stacked and then video encoded to generate video frames of the object from the different perspectives. The video-encoded assets may be stored on a server or other network-connected device, and later retrieved by a connected client device for display processing by a swivel/360-degree spinner on the client device. The swivel/360-degree spinner may utilize native video processing capabilities of the client device and/or of a browser running on the client device to display video motion of the object moving through different angular orientations in response to movement of an interactive cursor.

    Abstract: The disclosure provides technology for enhancing the ability of a computing device to conserve computing resources while providing special effects that are aligned with a text source being read aloud. An example method includes identifying effects data for a text source, wherein the effects data correlates a physical effect with an audible action of a user; receiving audio data comprising a plurality of audible actions, wherein at least one of the plurality of audible actions comprises a spoken word of the text source; determining, by a processing device, that a triggering condition pertaining to the effects data and the text source is satisfied; loading content for the physical effect prior to an occurrence of the audible action, and providing the physical effect to modify an environment of the user.
