1. A method comprising:

  • providing for operation of a collaboration application on a first device and a second device, wherein the collaboration application comprises at least one of a computationally intensive application configured to distribute computational requirements among collaborating devices, or a game wherein each collaborating device corresponds to a player in the game;

    receiving at the first device a signal from a sensor, wherein the sensor comprises a sensor to detect movement of the first device;

    establishing a reference time in response to receiving the signal from the sensor, wherein the signal is indicative of a movement of the first device; and

    synchronizing the collaboration application between the first device and the second device using the reference time, wherein synchronizing the collaboration application between the first device and the second device comprises synchronizing a clock within the first device and the second device.
