Abstract
Embodiments of methods, systems, and storage medium associated with establishing a persistent connection between local and remote interaction devices are disclosed herein. In one instance, the method may include operating the local interaction device in a first power state when a motion of a local user within an area proximate to the local device is not detected, and operating the local interaction device in a second power state when a motion of the local user within the area is detected. The method may further include providing a selected view of a plurality of views of the local area responsive to a gaze direction of the remote user, and providing audio communication from the local interaction device to the remote interaction device with a spatial characteristic that approximates co-location of the local and remote users. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
