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.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and associated computing device for translating speech can include receiving, at a microphone of a computing device, an audio signal representing speech of a user in a first language or in a second language at a first time. A positional relationship between the user and the computing device at the first time can be determined and utilized to determine whether the speech is in the first language or the second language. The method can further include obtaining, at the computing device, a machine translation of the speech represented by the audio signal based on the determined language, wherein the machine translation is: (i) in the second language when the determined language is the first language, or (ii) in the first language when the determined language is the second language. An audio representation of the machine translation can be output from a speaker of the computing device.

Abstract: In some implementations, audio data or video data associated with a first participant of a communication session is obtained. The communication session may include communication between a first device of the first participant with a second device of a second participant of the communication session. It is determined that biometric information associated with the first participant indicates that the first participant is looking toward the first device. In response determining that the biometric information associated with the first participant indicates that the first participant is looking toward the first device, the audio data or the video data associated with the first participant is transmitted to the second device of the second participant of the communication session.

Abstract: Implementations of the disclosed subject matter provide techniques for improved identification of a gesture based on data obtained from multiple devices. A method may include receiving an indication of an onset of a gesture, from a first device, at a gesture coordinating device. Next, first subsequent data describing the gesture may be received from a second device, at the gesture coordinating device. Based on the indication and the first subsequent data, the gesture may be identified. In response to identification of the gesture, an action may be performed based on the gesture identified. In some cases, the gesture coordinating device may be a cloud-based device.

Abstract: The subject technology provides for receiving touch inputs from a touch-input system. The subject technology generates script-callbacks from the touch inputs in which each of the script-callbacks includes properties related to an activity at a contact point of a touch-sensing surface of the touch-input system. The subject technology converts the script-callbacks into compliant touch events that are compliant with a multi-touch browser standard in which each of the compliant touch events comprises data related to the activity at the contact point of the touch-sensing surface of the touch-input system. The subject technology sends the compliant touch events to an application.
