Devices, systems, and methods are provided for enhanced streaming video advertisement integration. A method may include receiving, by a first device, from a second device, a request for advertisement opportunities for a streaming video title; identifying, by the first device, a first advertisement bid for a first advertisement; identifying, by the first device, a second advertisement bid for a second advertisement; sending, by the first device, in response to the request for advertisement opportunities, the first advertisement bid and the second advertisement bid to the second device; sending, by the second device, a request for advertisements to an advertisement server, including the first advertisement bid and the second advertisement bid; receiving, by the second device, a first group of advertisements for a first advertisement opportunity and a second group of advertisements for a second advertisement opportunity of the advertisement opportunities.

Technologies are disclosed for generating and publishing multi-platform application binaries from hosted websites or website source code. A developer can provide source code for a website or a link to a hosted website and identify target platforms for which application binaries should be created. The website is then modified for optimized presentation on devices on the specified target platforms. For example, page layouts, menu styles, image resolutions, and other aspects of the website can be modified for presentation on a mobile device, a tablet, a set top box, or other type of device. Source code is then generated for the target platforms that includes a web view component for rendering the website. A cross-platform compilation service then compiles the source code to generate native applications for the target platforms. The generated applications can then be provided to the developer or automatically submitted to application stores associated with the target platforms.

Generating and publishing applications for multiple platforms

Various embodiments provide methods and systems for presenting content to users on a computing device. In some embodiments, the computing device is configured to determine content or object of interest on the display screen of the computing device by using head position information of the user. For example, the content or object of interest can be extrapolated and determined from a 3D head position of the user and the relative position of the computing device. Depending on the content or object of interest, one or more actions (e.g., zooming in or out, rendering advertisement, or auto-focusing) related to the content or object of interest can be performed on the computing device.

Using head movement to adjust focus on content of a display

Techniques are described for updating applications installed on devices. The applications may include native applications having a web view component to handle interpreted language instructions. The applications may also include web applications executable within a browser. A message may be sent to a computing device, the message including update information specifying one or more updates to the state or the features of an application. The update information may be described using interpreted language instructions. To handle the updates to an application in instances when the application is inactive, a stand-alone interpreter engine may be employed instead of the web view component or instead of the interpreter engine included in a browser. Use of the stand-alone interpreter engine may mitigate possible performance effects or intrusive user interface elements from launching the web view component or the browser-based interpreter engine to perform update operations.
