1. A method for providing a user with a visual environment corresponding to an application program by way of a computing system comprising an adjunct communication device configured to provide an adjunct visual interface, the adjunct communication device separate from a primary display device, the method comprising: detecting an adjunct content event corresponding to adjunct visual content associated with an aspect of the application program; selectively transferring one of an adjunct content notification and adjunct visual content to the adjunct communication device in response to an adjunct content event, wherein the adjunct content event corresponds to one of an application program installation sequence, an occurrence of an application program event, an indication of user proficiency in interacting with the application program, a communication session with a remote system, and a predefined visual sequence that includes one of video data and animation data that is automatically selected for presentation to the user during one of application program installation and application program execution, wherein the adjunct communication device comprises a housing, a base, a display unit at least partially residing in the base and a viewing screen mounted within the housing, wherein the viewing screen comprises a viewing surface, wherein the display unit comprises an output surface; outputting optical signals relative to a first set of optical travel paths using the output surface; receiving the optical signals using the viewing surface; and at least partially directing the optical signals relative to a second set of optical travel paths, wherein the second set of optical travel paths defines a viewing angle; wherein the viewing surface is disposed at an acute angle relative to the output surface; wherein the viewing surface is slanted towards the viewing angle; wherein the viewing screen is reflective; and wherein the viewing surface is curved.
