Abstract
Technologies for seamless data streaming include a control server and one or more client computing devices. A client computing device receives user presence data indicative of whether a user is nearby from one or more sensors. The client computing device may receive user interest data indicative of the user's interest level in the current data stream from one or more sensors. The control server identifies available client computing devices based on the user presence data, selects a target client computing device, and causes the data stream to transition from the current client computing device to the target client computing device. The target client computing device may be selected based on proximity of the user or the user's interest level in the data stream. The volume or balance of the data stream may be adjusted to provide a smooth transition between client computing devices. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
