Project Tango is moving out of Google's
Advanced Technology and Projects (ATAP) group and into a new home
within the company. Project Tango uses a number of sensors for monitoring the world in 3D. The company promises a continued commitment to Project Tango development according to a post from Google ATAP on Google+:
While we have your attention, we'd also like to give a shout out to
the developers who have been developing apps using the Project Tango
Development Kit. We continue to be committed to moving the technology
forward with your help and appreciate your feedback as the platform
evolves. To keep up to date with news and updates please sign up to

This follows the recent announcement that Google Glass will be moving
out of Google X under the supervision of Nest's Tony Fadell, though at
this time nothing has been said as to exactly where Project Tango is
headed.

Whether this has been the longest week ever of one of the quickest,
the end result is the same — we've arrived at Friday. Final day o the
work week (for most of us) and the home of the live recording of the Greatest Android Podcast in the World.
So coming up this afternoon: We'll discuss what it does (and especially what it doesn't
mean) for Microsoft to have invested in Cyanogen, more folks have
gotten Android 5.0 Lollipop on the HTC One M8, we've got new pictures of
what the upcoming M9 might look like, we've got a Samsung Tizen phone
in house, we wrap up our Nest series and get launch into antivirus stuff
— and we'll answer more of your questions live, without a net.
So join us at this link at 4 p.m. EST — that's 9 p.m. in London — as we get this thing done!
Google has announced that they are making Google Earth
Pro features free to all users. Google Earth Pro adds a number of
features and on top of the standard Google Earth desktop setup that
allow you to measure 3D buildings, record HD video of your virtual
flights, and more. You'll now be able to record your virtual trip to
your favorite city absolutely free.
To use Google Earth Pro for free, you can download the desktop app and grab a free key
from Google. Enter your user name and license key when you open the app
and you'll be good to go. Existing Pro users don't need to do anything,
and their license keys will continue to work just fine.
