Abstract

A system may include electronic devices such as a head-mounted electronic device, a cellular telephone, a wristwatch device, a computer, and other devices. During operation of the system, one or more of the electronic devices may gather information on the positions of the electronic devices. Information may also be gathered on the positions of objects and obstructions. This position information and/or other information such as information on which sensor resources are available in each of the devices may be used to determine which of the sensors of the electronic devices in the room should be shared. Shared sensors may gather information that is communicated wirelessly to other devices for use by those devices.
