US 2019/0294405 A1 · METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR SOCIAL SHARING HEAD MOUNTED DISPLAY (HMD) CONTENT WITH A SECOND SCREEN

Abstract

A media streaming device is provided. In one configuration, the media streaming device includes an interface for connecting the media streaming device to a display screen. A head mounted display (HMD) output for connecting to an HMD over a wireless connection provide by wireless communication circuitry. A processor for processing received video of interactive content. The processor is configured to format the video of interactive content for rendering on the display screen. A pass-through connection that is configured to interface the video of interactive content to the HMD via the HMD output over the wireless connection. The pass-through connection maintains a left-eye and right-eye format for rendering the video of interactive content in a three-dimensional format in the HMD.
