Abstract: Technologies for resource management include a mobile computing device configured to communicate with a resource database server. The mobile computing device determines a future context and sends a request to the server for resource information associated with a location defined by the future context. The server determines resources located at the location and sends the requested resource information to the mobile computing device. The mobile computing device automatically configures itself to use the resources. The mobile computing device may automatically download and configure device drivers for the resources. The resources may include printers, displays, and network connections. The resource information may be provided by third-party resource providers. The resource database server may provide recommendations, including travel information recommendations.

Abstract: Embodiments of techniques and systems for sharing user information between proximate devices are described. In embodiments, a first device may identify a physically-proximate device that may receive user information. Upon receiving an indication that a user of the first device may desire to share user information with a user of the second device, a determination may be made as to whether the two users have matching interests. In embodiments, the interest match determination may be made by a separate interest match evaluator. Upon determination of an interest match, the first device may then send a request to share user information to the second device. If a user of the second device approves the request, user information for the user of the first device may be shared with the user of the second device. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: Systems, storage medium, and methods associated with adaptive visual output on a mobile device are disclosed herein. In embodiments, a storage medium may have instructions to enable the mobile device to determine a change in a distance between the mobile device and a user of the mobile device. The instruction may also enable the mobile device to operate an end-user application that may adaptively present a visual output based at least in part on a result of the change in the distance. Other embodiments may be disclosed or claimed.

Abstract: System and techniques for enhanced imaging are described herein. Light from an environment may be sampled to create an image. Energy reflected from the environment may also be sampled to create a depth image of the environment. A classifier may be applied to both the image and the depth image to provide a set of object properties for an object in the environment. A composite image may be constructed that includes portions of the image and depth image representing the object as well as the object properties.

Abstract: Technologies for localized audio enhancement of a three-dimensional video include capturing a three-dimensional video including depth data using a three-dimensional camera of a mobile computing device and receiving a three-dimensional audio associated with the three-dimensional video using a microphone array. A user may enhance localized audio by selecting a region of the three-dimensional image from the three-dimensional video. In response, the mobile computing device generates an audio component of the three-dimensional audio corresponding to the selected region based on depth data associated with the selected region. A user may subsequently enhance the audio component by, for example, increasing the volume of the audio component or increasing the clarity of the audio component.

Abstract: Methods and systems to predictively determine to perform a computing activity based on contextual information. Context-based criteria are defined based relationships between user-computing activity and contextual information, and are evaluated based on updated contextual information to determine whether to perform the computing activity. Context-based criteria may be defined to predictively identify content to be transferred/synchronized/updated and/or deleted, and/or to select one or more of multiple devices to receive content. Content may be selectively synchronized across devices of a user and/or shared with another user(s). Context-based criteria may relate to, without limitation, location, activity, computer-usage patterns, motion, and/or schedule of a user, device location, user/device proximity, relationships amongst content, users, and/or devices. Context-based computing environment parameters may be provided to pre-loaded content on device (e.g.
