Performing speech recognition in a multi-device system includes receiving a first audio signal that is generated by a first microphone in response to a verbal utterance, and a second audio signal that is generated by a second microphone in response to the verbal utterance; dividing the first audio signal into a first sequence of temporal segments; dividing the second audio signal into a second sequence of temporal segments; comparing a sound energy level associated with a first temporal segment of the first sequence to a sound energy level associated with a first temporal segment of the second sequence; based on the comparing, selecting, as a first temporal segment of a speech recognition audio signal, one of the first temporal segment of the first sequence and the first temporal segment of the second sequence; and performing speech recognition on the speech recognition audio signal.

Execution of voice commands in a multi-device system

One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for generating an augmented view of a location of interest for a user. The technique includes determining an image capture location based on the location of interest, and determining an image capture direction based on the image capture location. The technique further includes receiving an image associated with the image capture location and the image capture direction. The technique further includes processing the image based on a line of sight associated with a location of the user to generate a processed image and displaying the processed image to the user. Advantageously, the disclosed techniques enable a user to see through obstructions in the surrounding environment to view a location of interest.
