Abstract
Generally disclosed herein is a mechanism to display information on persons or objects appearing in media content on a display screen, without obscuring the persons or object. An annotation may be displayed in connection with the particular person or object to indicate that the information for the person or object is available. The viewer may request the information relating to the person or object by interacting with the content, such as by clicking on an icon, clicking on the person or object, submitting a voice search query, etc. In response to the viewer's request, the information may be displayed on the display screen, such as on an overlay display. According to some examples, a least obscuring region for displaying the information while the media content is still being played may be determined, such that the information can be displayed with minimal interruption to the viewer or other viewers.
