Abstract
In various embodiments, a control application enables mobile control of output devices, such as speakers. In operation, the control application receives visual data from a mobile device and one or more cameras that track motions associated with the mobile device. Based on the location of the mobile device and an angle of interest indicated by the visual data transmitted from the mobile device, the control application selects one or more output devices. The control application then processes the visual data provided by the cameras in order to identify and extract gestures and transmit associated control signals to the selected output devices.
