Abstract
Examples are described herein for detecting, and outputting audio signals to, wearable audio output devices. In various examples, a device may include a time-of-flight (ToF) sensor and a processor. The processor may analyze ToF sensor data generated by the ToF sensor. Based on the analysis, the processor may detect a wearable audio output device worn by an individual. In response to detecting the wearable audio output device, the processor may output an audio signal to the wearable audio output device.
