  • Publication number: 20240330581
    Abstract: A method includes: accessing a static visual objects, and media formats; defining a multi-dimensional feature space representing possible arrangements of combinations of the set of static visual objects within the set of media formats; generating a primary feature container distributed within the multi-dimensional feature space; generating a primary responsive media, by inserting the primary subset of static visual objects into the primary media format according to a primary arrangement of the primary subset of static visual objects represented in the feature container; presenting the primary responsive media to an operator; in response to receiving a selection of the primary responsive media generating a secondary feature container distributed within the multi-dimensional feature space proximal the primary feature container; generating a secondary responsive media, and serving the secondary responsive media to a first device for playback to a first user responsive to inputs by the first user at the first dev

  • Publication number: 20200251144
    Abstract: One variation of a method for generating and distributing digital advertising content includes: accessing a static asset including a set of objects representing advertising content; extracting the set of objects from the static asset; generating a set of frames, an object in the set of objects inserted into each frame in the set of frames; defining an order for presenting the set of frames to a viewer; at a visual element loaded into a window of a first computing device, sequentially rendering the set of frames according to the order responsive to an interaction at the first computing device that moves the visual element within the window; and, based on the interaction, generating an engagement metric for a user interacting with the visual element at the first computing device.

  • Publication number: 20190238951
    Abstract: One variation of a method for serving a video advertisement to a computing device includes: segmenting a digital video into a first video segment and a second video segment; at a visual element loaded into a document, loading the first video segment; in response to a scroll event that shifts the visual element into view within a window rendered on a display of the computing device, playing back the first video segment within the visual element; during playback of the first video segment, loading the second video segment from a remote server; in response to completion of playback of the first video segment, playing back the second video segment within the visual element; and calculating a level of user engagement a total duration of the digital video played back in the visual element.
