When one device is not enough

on YouTube ↗23m

" summary

Concrete claim: a developer-preview Cross Device SDK built on Play services provides device discovery, encrypted connections and a sessions API that transfers or shares app state. It actually uses low-level radios—Bluetooth BLE Wi‑Fi UWB—and a system UI like Nearby Share. Current limits: phones and tablets only, two devices limit, APIs changing and not production ready. The SDK is open source, sample code exists, and conference attendance totals 400+ onsite and 200+ remote.
