Summary:Apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media for a proximity-based connection facilitation device ("PBC") may be described which may facilitate discovery and connection to computing devices. The PBC may present visual elements representing devices based on their locations, such as their proximity to the PBC. The PBC may present visual elements for a limited set of devices. The PBC may present computing devices in a visual manner that may depict their proximity to the PBC. The PBC may also provide for facilitated connection to devices that are not as proximate to the PBC. The PBC may facilitate identification of devices that are proximate to an identified device. By facilitating a user in selecting a first device and then visualizing devices proximate to the first device, the PBC may facilitate a user in chaining from a first device to devices that are less easily identified. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
