With adding interactivity, we depart the printed page metaphor and focus on web documents. For completeness, we remark that interactive Authorea figures and plots are intended to export to classic PDF documents, with a user-selected static snapshot as a substitute for the live figure.  The ubiquitous method for creating interactive HTML5 content is by using active components written in JavaScript. Prior to active documents, there have been solution solutions  created as desktop applications, applications and used as tools independent from the published work,  e.g. GeoGebra\cite{Venema_2009}. Currently, there are both custom applications leveraging the open HTML5 standards, such as DLMF's use of WebGL plots for visualizing Complex Function Surfgaces\cite{Saunders_2015}, and a variety of community efforts for creating standard libraries for interactive plots. Authorea already provides quick-start templates for two of those libraries: Flotchart\cite{flot} and Bokeh\cite{bokeh}. A demonstration using Flotchart can be found at \cite{live-math}.
