Google has announced that their Project Tango is being moved out of ATAP to a new home within Google, just like Google Glass was moved out of X Labs.
Google Project Tango will now be run as an individual project, the Google ATAP project is designed to launch new projects with temporary teams and they aim to launch a project within two years.
ATAP’s innovation strategy is characterized by ambitious goals, time limits, and temporary project teams. So, after two fast-paced years in ATAP, and many technical successes, the Tango team is transitioning from ATAP to a new home within Google. We’re excited about the continued commitment to developing the technology for our users — we wish our fellow pirates fair winds and following seas.
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.
Google has not revealed exactly what will happen next with Project Tango, you can find out more details at the link below.
