Dynamic user interface for previewing live content

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

displaying a series of user interface layouts that each have multiple tiles displaying multiple pieces of information associated with one or more pieces of content, the multiple pieces of information comprising different types of information and each of the multiple tiles displaying a piece of the information; and

transitioning to display a next user interface layout in the series automatically after a current user interface layout has been displayed for a predetermined amount of time.

2. A computer-implemented method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the different types of information include at least two of an image, a text description, audio content, or video content.

3. A computer-implemented method as recited in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the different types of information comprises an image extracted from the one or more pieces of content.

4. A computer-implemented method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the multiple tiles are each configured to display two or more of the different types of information concurrently.

5. A computer-implemented method as recited in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the multiple pieces of information displayed by one of the multiple tiles changes over time.

6. A computer-implemented method as recited in claim 5 , wherein the at least one of the multiple pieces of information that changes over time comprises at least one of animation content, a slideshow of images, or video content.

7. A computer-implemented method as recited in claim 1 , wherein one of the multiple tiles displays a first type of the different types of information in the current user interface layout, and responsive to the current user interface layout transitioning to display the next user interface layout, displays a second type of the different types of information.

8. A computer-implemented method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the next user interface layout has one of the multiple tiles displaying an additional piece of information that is not displayed by the current user interface layout, the additional piece of information comprising an additional different type of information.

9. A computer-implemented method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising obtaining the one or more pieces of content from a gallery, and wherein at least one of the multiple pieces of information is associated with respective content as metadata.

10. A computer-implemented method as recited in claim 1 , wherein different user interface layouts include different quantities of tiles.

11. One or more computer storage media having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computing device, cause the one or more processors to:

obtain multiple pieces of information that comprise different types of information associated with content that is available from a gallery;

display a series of user interface layouts that each have multiple tiles displaying the multiple pieces of information and present the multiple tiles organized differently than other user interface layouts in the series, each of the multiple tiles displaying a piece of the information; and

transition to display a next user interface layout in the series automatically after a current user interface layout has been displayed for a predetermined amount of time.

12. One or more computer storage media as recited in claim 11 , wherein the different types of information include at least two of an image, a text description, audio content, or video content.

13. One or more computer storage media as recited in claim 11 , wherein the multiple tiles are each configured to display at least two of the different types of information concurrently.

14. One or more computer storage media as recited in claim 11 , wherein at least one of the multiple pieces of information displayed by one of the multiple tiles changes over time.

15. One or more computer storage media as recited in claim 11 , wherein the multiple pieces of information are associated with the content by at least one of being stored with respective content as metadata or stored on a same content source as the respective content.

16. One or more computer storage media as recited in claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the one or more processors to obtain additional pieces of information associated with the content from one or more additional galleries.

17. One or more computer storage media as recited in claim 16 , wherein the additional pieces of information comprise at least one additional type of information that is not one of the different types of information.

18. One or more computer storage media as recited in claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the one or more processors to access the gallery for updates to the multiple pieces of information.

19. A computer-implemented method comprising:

displaying a user interface; and

automatically transitioning over time through a series of user interface layouts of the user interface, each user interface layout in the series presenting multiple tiles organized differently than the other user interface layouts in the series, the automatic transition from a current user interface layout in the series to a next user interface layout in the series occurring after the current user interface layout is displayed for a predetermined amount of time.

20. A computer-implemented method as recited in claim 19 , wherein the multiple tiles display multiple pieces of information comprising different types of information, and wherein each of the multiple tiles displays a piece of the information.
