1. A method for automatically pairing an input device to a user, the method executed by a computing device communicatively coupled to the input device, the method comprising: receiving an input from an unpaired input device within an observed scene; calculating a position of the unpaired input device upon receiving the input, the position including a distance and an angle relative to the computing device; detecting one or more users within the observed scene via a capture device of the computing device, the observed scene including the unpaired input device; creating a candidate list of the one or more detected users determined to be within a vicinity of the unpaired input device, the candidate list including a distance between each user and the unpaired input device; assigning one detected user on the candidate list to the unpaired input device to initiate pairing, the one user being a nearest user to the unpaired input device, and once assigned, the unpaired input device being a paired input device.
