The data sources available on mobile devices are valuable, but are often device-dependent, limiting their widespread use. Imagine if PCs could use the series of data from the accelerometer sensor on a mobile device. A simple example is using a smartphone as motion controller for PC.
To overcome the limitation that data sources are confined to a single mobile device, Zap provides its own network protocol and programming interface to access data sources on other devices.
The main goal of Zap is to support mobile-PC communication, but it also extends its capabilities to enable mobile-mobile and PC-PC communication. Furthermore, it's not limited to PCs; any devices capable of running Zap implementations(e.g., Kiosk device, Smart TV, etc.) can also participate in this communication.
