Abstract

Methods and systems for presenting additional content in virtual reality environments on heads up displays showing main content without interfering with a user's viewing of the main content. Specifically, a movement of a center of gaze of the user is detected. A visual field of the user based on the movement of the center of gaze is determined. If it is determined that the portion of the virtual reality environment in which the additional content is generated for display corresponds to a foreground area of the user's visual field, the additional content is generated for display in a portion of the virtual reality environment corresponding to a peripheral area of the user's visual field.
