Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, a computer program product, and a wearable device for controlling display of content. The method is performed in a wearable device (10) comprising a head mounted display having a display region (12). The method comprises causing (S12) to display a first visual content (32) on a first portion (14) of the display region, corresponding to an eye gaze direction (22) of the user (20). The method comprises determining (S13) to transmit a second visual content (34) to one or more external display devices (40a-40 n) based on presence of the one or more external display devices (40a-40 n) in a field of view, FoV, of the wearable device (10). Further, the method comprises sending (S14) a request to at least one of the one or more external display devices (40a-40 n) to display the second visual content (34). The method further comprises causing (S15) to display the second visual content (34), at least outside the first portion (14) of the display region (12). The resolution of the first visual content (32) is higher than the resolution of the second visual content (34).
