Abstract
Embodiments include devices and methods for using a personal device to interact with a peripheral device. Methods can include receiving a pairing message, generated by the peripheral device, in response to a user interaction with the peripheral device, and detecting, at the personal device, a user gesture that is associated with use of the peripheral device. The methods can also include establishing a dedicated wireless connection with the peripheral device in response to detecting the user gesture, receiving a real-time data stream over the wireless connection, and outputting information at least partially based on data received from the peripheral device via the real-time data stream to the user.
