Is there a way to stream it so it constantly plays in the background? I currently have screenshots used in Ambient mode, but would love to have reports that update themselves and on the chrome cast.
yes - https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/3228332?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en
not sure if it's totally what you're looking for but you can add a community visualization that cycles through all your data on a loop. In the top bar click the community visualizations icon, then explore more, and select AutoPlay.
Here are the instructions to set-up along with a demo - https://datastudio.google.com/u/0/reporting/859cc3f8-8968-43d0-9e2e-f47300b66a31/page/GUgQB

I have a task pane add-in for PowerPoint in mind that can help users with tasks on the active presentation. With Microsoft Office becoming more and more popular on platforms besides Windows using the JavaScript API would make a great portable implementation. There are a number of COM add-ins doing things like these via the PowerPoint object model:
Get the color of a selected shape and apply to another
Change position of shapes to align
them
Copy one or more shapes from a slide in a presentation to
another
Upload a selected image to a web service
Insert a slide
downloaded from a web service
After going through the JavaScript API documentation it seems like these things are impossible at the moment. getFileAsync sounds remotely promising but does not help in the end. getSelectedDataAsync only returns text or titles and IDs for slides. So this isn't a solution either.
Is it correct that for the tasks above I am currently out of luck with the available JavaScript API for PowerPoint? I.e. I will need to wait for a more comprehensive API to become available (like the APIs for Word and Excel)? Anyone knows if Microsoft has something in the works here?
Right now the Office extensibility team has been investing heavily in Excel and Word JavaScript APIs, the PPT API will also be available in the near future, but I cannot disclose any specific date. Stay tuned!!!
I am displaying a WebVR scene in a browser.
But only the user with the headset (an oculus rift) can see the scene.
My question :
Is there a way to see on another screen what the user see ?
I would like to give advices to the user (you can do that, you can go here too, etc).
Thanks
I use Open Broadcaster Software which can capture external monitors (like the Rift in extended mode) and individual windows. It's typically used for recording and streaming but you can use it for mirroring with its "Preview" mode. This works pretty well usually, although it does take some time to setup correctly and can be temperamental.
There are a couple of reddit posts about setup tips:

What I want to do is to connect my laptop to a projector and make it an extension and while the extension (the projector) displays a the slideshow of my Powerpoint, a different slideshow is also displayed in my laptop. This is so I can look at my laptop showing the notes of my speech for each slide that I go to. I want it so that when I go to Slide 1 in the slideshow (displayed by the projector), the notes of my speech in slide 1 will be shown in my laptop. Is that possible? I can probably actually make a program for my needs but I want to know if there's already a way for that, and if none, what alternatives can be used to achieve a similar result?
You can write notes in PowerPoint and then switch to "Presenter View".
This will show your slides on the external monitor and your notes + miniature previews of upcoming slides on the laptop screen.
See also http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/powerpoint-help/presenter-view-tools-for-running-a-powerpoint-presentation-HA001056547.aspx.
you when connect to projector you must select extend mod(for example in Sony lab-tab press FN+F7 and select extend mod) and then in power point in slid show select monitor->double-monitor
.
also in office 2013 when you connect to projector it automatic do Similar this.
Im writing an application for workers in our factory and one of requirements is that they should be able to take images using camera integrated in PDA with WM6.5.
The main difficulty is, that thay MUST NEVER EVER be able to enter windows, Start button, desktop etc. They are allowed ONLY to see my fullscreen application.
I succesfully deactivated BlueTooth + red, green and volume buttons (if you are interested, im pasting links here)

And now I have to implement the camera function. But as CameraCaptureDialog opens a new dialog and shows start button, task bar and allows user to open list of applications, I must not use it.
I must create my own dialog that will show the Live Preview in a panel or in an imageBox and photo will be taken using a button.
I searched the whole internet and found only DirectShow.NETCF (but people do not recommend it) and CameraCaptureDialog.
Can I somehow redirect the CameraCaptureDialog to my dialog? Or can I access camera directly via .NET framework? Or can I modify the CameraCaptureDialog not to show Start button, menu etc?
Looks like you have a bit of a challenge. I agree that Directshow is a questionable solution, but it may be your only option. I did get http://alexmogurenko.com/blog/directshownetcf/ to work, but only on low resolutions.
A better option might be to find a device that does not show the menu bar/start button. AFAIK, the HTC HD2 has a very clean Cameracapturedialog..
Good luck.
I have to port a GUI that is currently running on a pc, to a wince device. I have already compiled the code on a win CE platform, the problem is now with the size of the screen of the device which is smaller than some of the dialog boxes of the GUI. I could resize some them in resource view of visual studio 2005. I am unable to proceed further as a lot of screens have bitmaps mapped to them and i cannot just resize the dialog boxes without changing the corresponding bitmaps.
What is the best way to proceed- my last resort would be to disable the bitmaps and redraw them at a later stage.
is there some method of automatically mapping the size of the screen to all the dialog boxes so that they would automatically resize (alongwith the assocaiated buttons etc)
Honestly I think my advise would be to stop and think about the differences between the two contexts before event considering how you would scale the interfaces.
PCs and phones have completely different interaction paradigms and simply scaling from a PC to a phone is very unlikely to work. Even if you could, it's likely to produce an unsatisfactory user experience.
I would expect that the best way to proceed is to sit down and draft up a new UI for the phones. Then bring you back ground code across from the PC and code up the interface part to work with the new UI. If you code is designed according to MVC principles then you are just looking at recoding the controllers and redesigning the views.
