1. A method of capturing information about a user of an electronic device, comprising: detecting a motion of the electronic device; storing information corresponding to the motion to temporary storage; after detecting the motion, analyzing the information to determine an action corresponding to the motion; predicting a direction of a user with respect to the electronic device based at least in part upon the motion, the predicted direction corresponding to a range of possible physical positions where the user is capable of causing the motion; selecting at least one capture element of the electronic device having a field of view that includes an angular range surrounding the predicted direction; and capturing, using the at least one capture element of the electronic device, information over the angular range surrounding the predicted direction of the user to determine an actual direction to the user from the electronic device, the information being captured based at least in part on the action.
