Abstract
Among other things, this document describes a computer-implemented method. The method can include receiving, at a first device, an indication of user input to cause the first device to establish a wireless data connection with another device. A determination can be made at the first device that one or more sensors on the first device are oriented toward a second device. In response to at least one of (i) receiving the indication of user input to cause the first device to establish a wireless data connection with another device and (ii) determining that the one or more sensors on the first device are oriented toward the second device, a first wireless data connection can be established between the first device and the second device. A first stream of audio data can be received and played at the first device.
