  • Patent number: 11715275
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described to enable the creation of user interfaces that may adapt to different environments and may be automatically created. User interfaces may be two-dimensional or three-dimensional and may be used in virtual reality or augmented reality applications. An interface creator may create or receive digital assets associated with a content item, define virtual planes and associated digital asset templates, associate the digital assets with the virtual planes, and enable display of the virtual planes with associated digital assets to a user for user interaction. Digital assets may be automatically edited to meet the specifications of the templates associated with the virtual planes. Virtual planes and templates may also be standardized and aggregated so that a completed user interface may be easily delivered and presented with other content items in a uniform manner.
