Display of supplemental content

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.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein displaying the supplemental content comprises projecting light onto an area of the display environment.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the supplemental content presents information different from information presented in the primary content.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sensor is an infrared light sensor.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein displaying the supplemental content comprises projecting the supplemental content by a supplemental display.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the supplemental content is determined by accessing one or more databases based on information from the primary content.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the supplemental content is formatted based on the one or more environmental characteristics.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising updating the supplemental content based on detecting a user action within the display environment.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user input is a detected user action, wherein the detected user action includes at least one of a gesture, a gaze, or a voice instruction.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the primary display is an alternative reality or virtual reality display 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.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the supplemental content corresponds to the primary content and presents information different from information relayed in the primary content.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the supplemental display is further configured to determine the display location by detecting, using the sensor, an empty space on a wall within the display environment.

14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the supplemental display is configured to select the supplemental content by analyzing the primary content and searching third party databases for related content to the primary content.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the supplemental content comprises one or more of a trivia about the primary content or an actor or character therein, a plot summary of the primary content, or an Internet search result based on the primary content.

16. The system of claim 11 , wherein the supplemental display is further configured to:

utilize an additional user input to update the display location of the supplemental content.

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.

18. The non-tangible computer readable medium of claim 17 , further comprising instructions to cause the computer to format the supplemental content based on at least one of a user preference, a user action, or the one or more environmental characteristics.

19. The non-tangible computer readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the one or more environmental characteristics comprise a color of the surface of the display environment.
