Abstract: A user interface comprising a set of comments that are aggregated from and included in a plurality of collaborative documents provided by a cloud-based content management platform are displayed. Each of the plurality of collaborative documents is a separate data file. A modification to a comment of the set of comments is received based on user input via the user interface displaying the set of comments included in the plurality of collaborative documents. Responsive to receiving the modification to the comment of the set of comments based on the user input via the user interface displaying the set of comments included in the plurality of collaborative documents, the user interface is updated to reflect the modified comment of the set of comments.

Abstract: A system and method may include receiving data defining an augmented reality (AR) environment including a representation of a physical environment, identifying relationships between a plurality of scene elements in the AR environment, and obtaining a set of UI layout patterns for arranging the plurality of scene elements in the AR environment according to one or more relationships between the plurality of scene elements. The system and method may identify, for the at least one scene element, at least one relationship that corresponds to at least one UI layout pattern, generate a modified UI layout pattern for the at least one scene element using different relationships than the identified at least one relationship, and trigger display of the AR content associated with the information and the at least one scene element using the modified UI layout pattern.

Abstract: A method can include receiving a starting scene for display and an ending scene for display, the starting scene including at least a first graphical element in a first location and a second graphical element in a second location, the ending scene including at least the first graphical element in a third location and the second graphical element in a fourth location; generating multiple individual candidate animations based on the starting scene and the ending scene, each of the multiple candidate animations including display of the first graphical element transitioning from the first location to the second location and display of the second graphical element transitioning from the third location to the fourth location; for each of the multiple individual candidate animations, determining a score; selecting one of the individual candidate animations based on the determined scores for the individual candidate animations; and presenting the selected individual candidate animation.

Abstract: A system and method may provide for a computing system including multiple display devices. Data collected by sensors such as, for example, image sensors and positional sensors, of the display devices is leveraged to determine a position and/or an orientation of each of the display devices in the real world environment. This identification and utilization of the relative positioning of the display devices may be used to configure, and reconfigure, display settings, set display priorities, control movement of content, and respond to gesture based commands related to content management.
