1. A method, comprising:
comparing, by one or more processors, first audio data received from a first audio sensor of a first computing device with second audio data received from a second audio sensor of a second computing device;
detecting, by the one or more processors, a gesture made by a portion of a body of a user based on a result of the comparing;
determining, by the one or more processors, whether the gesture corresponds to a user command; and
controlling, by the one or more processors, one or more functions of the first computing device based on the user command.
