Discover and exchange information with devices all around you, without having to be on the same network. Create fast, peer-to-peer connections for data exchanges, gaming, and more with Google Nearby. Enable contextual discovery for your apps and beacons. These are the kinds of things you can do with Google Nearby.

With the old Wifi Direct, Android Peer-to-Peer was a bit flaky. It could be made to work, but it wasn’t fun. Nearby takes the pain out of it, and adds in the ability to leverage Bluetooth, BLE and even ultrasonic communication between devices with the same APIs.
