Abstract: A system and method provides for the transfer of the execution of content, or the casting of content, from a first computing device to a second computing device. The casting may be performed in response to a detected lift event of the second computing device including the detection of movement of the second computing device from a stored state toward a position within a field of view of a user, and an identification event of the second computing device, including the detection or identification of the second computing device within a field of view of an image sensor of the first computing device, corresponding to a field of view of the user. Detection of both the lift event and the identification event may provide a relatively high level of assurance of user intent to cast the content from the first computing device to the second computing device.
