Android will now serve proximity based experiences

Google just introduced a feature that prompts users to experience apps tied in to physical locations. From the developer side, beacons and the new Nearby API are used to identify when potential users are in the vicinity, and this delivers a notification to the device. The demo applications showcased with the announcement include tours for museums and additional services for travellers. The applications can tie up with third party proximity-based services, internet of things based services or security services. Nearby features have started rolling out for Android devices, as part of the Google Play Services release.
