1. A system comprising:
- memory;
one or more processors;
a projector;
a microphone;
a passive user device; and
one or more computer-executable instructions maintained in the memory and executable by the one or more processors to;
detect, by the microphone, a sound output in association with the passive user device, the sound being output in response to a user interaction with one or more passive ridges on a surface of the passive user device;
compare the sound to a plurality of known operations; and
determine that the sound corresponds to at least one operation of the plurality of known operations; and
the at least one operation to occur by causing the projector to project at least one of light or an image towards a different device, the different device being configured to perform the at least one operation based at least partly on receiving the light or the image.

Abstract
A user device may include one or more features on a surface of the user device, where a user may interact with the one or more features. In response to a user action with respect to one of the features, a particular sound, frequency, or change in frequency may be output. An augmented reality functional node (ARFN) may detect the sound or frequency and identify a particular operation that corresponds to the sound or frequency. The ARFN may then cause that operation to be performed within an environment.

4. A method comprising:
-
detecting, by a microphone associated with a computing device, a sound output in association with a user device based at least in part on a user interaction associated with one or more features of the user device; determining an operation that corresponds to the sound; and causing the operation to occur by causing a projector associated with the computing device to project at least one of light or an image towards a different device, the different device being configured to perform the operation based at least partly on receiving the light or the image. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 28)

13. A method comprising:
-
detecting, by a microphone associated with a computing device, a sound output in association with a passive user device, the sound being output based at least in part on a user interaction with one or more passive ridges situated on a surface of the passive user device; comparing the sound to at least one known operation; determining that the at least one known operation corresponds to the sound; and causing the at least one known operation to occur by causing a projector associated with the computing device to project at least one of light or an image towards a different device, the different device being configured to perform the at least one known operation based at least partly on receiving the light or the image. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
