Briar project looks interesting. Does anyone know how it "connects directly with nearby contacts" without internet access?

The one interesting feature that we tried on a flight is sharing Briar application with another person. Briar creates a Wi-Fi hotspot, other person downloads the apk and can install it and then you can add each other through QR codes and then communicate over bluetooth. And the best part is that this actually worked.
