Abstract
Systems and method for processing video frames generated for display on a head mounted display (HMD) to a second screen are provided. One example method includes receiving the video frames formatted for display on the HMD, and while passing the video frames to the HMD, selecting a portion of content from the video frames and processing the portion of the content for output to a second screen. The video frames viewed in the HMD are a result of interactive play executed for viewing on the HMD. The second screen configured to render an undistorted view of the interactive play on the HMD. In one example, the method and system enable additional content to be rendered on the second screen (e.g., second screen content, such as social interactive play with others, other non-game content, player-player communication, etc.).
