At its HP Imagine 2026 event, HP Inc. announced HP NearSense, a new connectivity technology. The company states it is designed to create a more seamless and intuitive experience for users working across multiple HP devices, such as laptops, printers, and monitors.
According to HP, NearSense uses a combination of hardware and software to allow devices to automatically discover and connect to each other when in proximity. The stated goal is to simplify tasks like file sharing, printing, and screen extension without requiring manual Bluetooth pairing or network configuration.
HP has positioned NearSense as a key part of its broader ecosystem strategy to enhance productivity for hybrid workers. The technology is expected to be integrated into a range of new HP commercial and consumer devices launching later in 2026.
