Abstract
An example method includes receiving, by a head-mountable device (HMD), data corresponding to an information event, and providing an indication corresponding to the information event in response to receiving the data. The method further includes determining a gaze direction of an eye and determining that the gaze direction of the eye is an upward direction that corresponds to a location of a display of the HMD. The display is located in an upper periphery of a forward-looking field of view of the eye when the HMD is worn. The method further includes, in response to determining that the gaze direction of the eye is the upward direction, displaying graphical content related to the information event in the display.
