CONTENT PRESENTATION IN HEAD WORN COMPUTING
Aspects of the present invention relate to methods and devices for receiving and presenting content. In an example method, content is received, the content to be delivered to a plurality of recipients. Each recipient of the plurality of recipients has a preference for a respective first physical location at which the content is to be presented on a display of a wearable head device associated with the recipient. A sender of the content has a preference for a second physical location at which the content is to be presented to the respective recipient of the plurality of recipients. A respective final physical location for the presentation of the content for the respective recipient of the plurality of recipients is identified. The respective final physical location is based on the respective recipient's preference and the sender's preference. It is determined whether the respective recipient is proximate to a zone associated with the respective final physical location. In accordance with a determination that the respective recipient is proximate to the zone, an alert is generated on the wearable head device, the alert associated with the respective final physical location. It is determined whether the respective recipient is in the zone associated with the respective final physical location. In accordance with a determination that the respective recipient is in the zone, the content is caused to be presented to the respective recipient of the plurality of recipients.
