Abstract: Video content items are automatically, or with some user input, created for objects based on assets associated with the objects. Where the object is an application, the assets may include images of the application, footage of a user using the application, and textual descriptions or reviews of the application. The assets are arranged using templates that specify audio content to use during the video content item, as well as animations to use during the video content item. A generated video content item can be distributed with the object, or may be used to promote the object.

Abstract: Examples are disclosed herein that relate to mixed reality objects. One example provides a computing device comprising a logic machine and a storage machine holding instructions executable by the logic machine to execute a mixed reality application, the mixed reality application defining a third-party object slot, present a mixed reality environment, and upon detecting a condition associated with the third-party object slot, send to a remote computing system a request to fill the third-party object slot, the request based on sensing of a real-world portion of the mixed reality environment with a sensor of the computing device. The instructions are further executable to receive a third-party object from the remote computing system selected by the remote computing system based on the request, and display the third-party object in the third-party object slot such that the third-party object is constrained by a real-world portion of the mixed reality environment.
