1. A method for pairing plural devices, each of the plural devices including display surfaces, the method comprising:
detecting, using one or more motion detection systems, a user motion corresponding to user input of a single continuous gesture across the display surfaces of the plural devices, the gesture including at least one entry point and one exit point on each of the display surfaces of the plural devices; accessing data indicating a first straight-line distance between an entry point and an exit point of the gesture on the display surface of a first one of the plural devices, the first straight-line distance being along an edge of the display surface of the first one of the plural devices; accessing data indicating a second straight-line distance between an entry point and an exit point of the gesture on the display surface of a second one of the plural devices, the second straight-line distance being along an edge of the display surface of the second one of the plural devices; verifying that the first straight-line distance corresponds to the second straight-line distance; and automatically pairing the plural devices to enable transfer of data between the plural devices.
