The present disclosure describes a method for displaying supplemental content. The method includes determining environmental characteristics, e.g., wall space, empty areas, colors, etc., for a display environment, determining supplemental content based in part on a primary content displayed by a primary display, and displaying the supplemental content in the display environment.
FIELD (1) Examples described herein generally relate to content viewing experiences and supplementing content as it is displayed. BACKGROUND (2) People watch many different types of content in different viewing environments, such as within different rooms, locations, and the like. Content, which may include television shows, movies, sporting events, news, and the like, may include supplemental information, such as closed captioning, stock or score “tickers,” and other information displayed with the primary content. Often, given size constraints of different display devices, such supplemental information may obscure the primary content, as well create a “busy” display, making it difficult for a user to view the primary content. Similarly, many users may not care about the supplemental information being displayed and do not enjoy the obscured and busy view. SUMMARY (3) In one example, a method for displaying supplemental content is disclosed. The method includes determining environmental characteristics for a display environment, determining supplemental content based in part on a primary content displayed by a primary display, and displaying the supplemental content in the display environment. (4) In another example, a system for displaying supplemental content is disclosed, where the system may include a primary display configured to display primary content and a supplemental display configured to display supplemental content. (5) In yet another example, a system for displayi
1. A method of displaying supplemental content comprising: detecting, using a sensor, one or more environmental characteristics for a display environment, the one or more environmental characteristics including a presence of one or more obstacles in the display environment; determining supplemental content based in part on a primary content displayed by a primary display; identifying, based on the one or more environmental characteristics and a user input or a user preference, a position in the display environment for display of the supplemental content, wherein the position is different from a position of the primary display, wherein the position for display of the supplemental content is free from the one or more obstacles detected by the sensor; and displaying the supplemental content in the display environment. ||
11. A system for displaying supplemental content comprising: a primary display configured to display primary content; and a supplemental display configured to display supplemental content different from the primary content, wherein the supplemental display is configured to: determine a display location for the supplemental content based on a user input or a user preference and an analysis of one or more environmental characteristics detected by a sensor of a display environment of the primary content, wherein the display location of the supplemental content is different from a position of the primary display, wherein the one or more environmental characteristics include a presence of one or more obstacles in the display environment, wherein the display location for the supplemental content is free from the one or more obstacles detected by the sensor; select the supplemental content based in part on the display location and the primary content; and display the supplemental content at the display location. ||
17. A non-tangible computer readable medium storing instructions that when read by a computer cause the computer to: determine a display location for supplemental content to be displayed by a supplemental display based on a user input or a user preference and an analysis of one or more environmental characteristics detected by a sensor of a display environment for primary content displayed by a primary display, wherein the display location for the supplemental content is different from a position of the primary display, wherein the one or more environmental characteristics include a presence of one or more obstacles in the display environment, wherein the display location for the supplemental content is free from the one or more obstacles detected by the sensor; select the supplemental content based in part on the display location and the primary content; and display the supplemental content at the display location.
