Abstract
A content request is received from a user device of a viewing user of an interaction system. An interaction application executing at the user device presents a viewing user interface that includes a content zone and an interaction zone. A third-party content item is presented in the content zone. The interaction zone comprises a first interaction subzone located in a lower section of the viewing user interface, outside of the content zone. The first interaction subzone includes a user-selectable interaction element. The interaction zone further comprises a second interaction subzone positioned adjacent to the first interaction subzone in the lower section of the viewing user interface. The second interaction subzone is located inside of the content zone and includes a user-selectable context element. Responsive to detecting an interaction gesture directed at the interaction zone, the interaction application automatically transitions from a viewing state to an interaction state.
