Abstract
Techniques for device connections using touch gestures are described. A method may comprise receiving a first gesture input at a first electronic device, receiving, at the first electronic device, a second gesture input from a second computing device in proximity to the first computing device, comparing the first gesture input and the second gesture input, and establishing a wireless connection between the first computing device and the second computing device if a similarity of the first gesture input and the second gesture input meets or exceeds a similarity threshold based on the comparing. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
