1. A computing system that repeatedly adjusts communication with a subject head-mounted device (HMD) based on a changing real time environment of the subject HMD, the computing system comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more hardware storage devices that store instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to cause the computing system to:
access real time environment context data obtained from sensor data generated by a sensor, wherein the real time environment context data includes one or more of an orientation of the subject HMD or a predicted orientation of the subject HMD;
determine a communication property to be used in communicating with the subject HMD based on the real time environment context data; and
change or reestablish a communication protocol used between the subject HMD and an external device, said change or reestablishment being based on the determined communication property, such that changing or reestablishing the communication protocol is based on the one or more of the orientation of the subject HMD or the predicted orientation of the subject HMD.
