Examples of mixed reality computing devices that utilize remote sensors and local sensors as input devices are disclosed. In one example, a mixed reality computing device comprises an image sensor, a remote input device, a processor, and storage comprising stored instructions. The stored instructions are executable by the processor to perform object motion tracking and environmental tracking based on output from the image sensor, and in response to detecting that the remote input device is in use, adjust a parameter of the motion tracking while maintaining the environmental tracking.

Embodiments related to outputting spatial audio via a portable computing device are presented. For example, one disclosed embodiment provides a portable computing device for wirelessly detecting a presence of a remote speaker external to the portable computing device, determining a location of the remote speaker, and establishing a wireless connection with the remote speaker. The embodiment further includes presenting visual content via a display of the portable computing device, the visual content comprising an object positionally associated with a location in a real-world environment around the portable computing device, generating an audio signal corresponding to the object, and sending the audio signal to the remote speaker.
