Systems and methods for virtual displays in virtual, mixed, and augmented reality

A head mountable device (HMD) comprising:

• a first physical display;
• and
• a processor operatively coupled to the first physical display and configured to:
• receive a trigger input from a user of a computing device, the computing device including a second physical display that displays first content;
• initiate at least one virtual display based on the trigger input from the user;
• provide, with the first physical display, the at least one virtual display in association with the second physical display;
• and
• display, with the first physical display, second content via the at least one virtual display in association with the first content displayed via the second physical display.

A non-transitory computer readable medium embodying a computer program, the computer program comprising computer readable program code that when executed causes at least one processing device to:

• receive a trigger input from a user of a computing device, the computing device including a first physical display that displays first content;
• initiate at least one virtual display via a second physical display of a head mountable device (HMD) based on the trigger input from the user;
• provide, with the second physical display, the at least one virtual display in association with the first physical display;
• and
• display, with the second physical display, second content via the at least one virtual display in association with the first content displayed via the first physical display.
