Abstract
During a communication technique, a head-mounted electronic device receives a user command to capture sensory information, where the sensory information is associated with an object in an environment of the head-mounted electronic device, and where the object is associated with a second user of a second head-mounted electronic device. Then, a sensor in the head-mounted electronic device captures the sensory information associated with the object based on the received user command. Moreover, the head-mounted electronic device provides the captured sensory information to a pairing electronic device. Next, the head-mounted electronic device receives connection information from the pairing electronic device if the sensory information specifies the second user. Furthermore, the head-mounted electronic device establishes a secure connection with the second head-mounted electronic device based on the connection information.
