What has Google killed lately

IoT products.

Last year, the teams responsible for Pixel hardware and Android software were merged into one division, and Google today announced a “voluntary exit program” for employees working in the Platforms & Devices group.

SVP Rick Osterloh sent out a memo to employees this morning about the “voluntary exit program,” and the company confirmed to 9to5Google that this is happening.

This program applies to US employees working on Platforms & Devices, which includes Android (Auto, TV, Wear OS, XR), Chrome, ChromeOS, Google Photos, Google One, Pixel, Fitbit, and Nest. Google has many people around the world working on these products, but today’s announcement is just for those stateside.

Meanwhile, this is not a company-wide offer that applies to Search, AI, or other groups, though Alphabet’s new CFO last October said “driving further efficiencies” was a key priority.

Separately, software and hardware were already two very large organizations, with some overlap. Now that things have settled in recent months, employees have a better idea of their roles. Osterloh said the division received questions about the possibility of voluntary exits since the Pixel-Android merger. Not offering people the option to leave in advance was a complaint about how Google handled past layoffs.

The memo frames this exit program as being beneficial for those who might not be aligned or passionate about the combined organization’s mission or are having difficulty with their roles, and hybrid working requirements. 

In leaving Google, employees will get a severance package, with more details internally coming soon. From what we learned, this change does not coincide with any product roadmap changes. 

Before the merger, the Google hardware division last January switched to a functional organization model where there is one team (and leader) for teams like hardware engineering across Pixel, Nest, and Fitbit. At the same time, a few hundred roles were cut. The broader unification in April was designed to “speed up decision-making” internally. 

In offering this program today, Google wants employees “to be deeply committed to our mission and focused on building great products, with speed and efficiency.” The statement also makes reference to “tremendous momentum” and “so much important work ahead.” Google’s full statement is below.

The Platforms & Devices team is offering a voluntary exit program that provides US-based Googlers working on this team the ability to voluntarily leave the company with a severance package. This comes after we brought two large organizations together last year. There’s tremendous momentum on this team and with so much important work ahead, we want everyone to be deeply committed to our mission and focused on building great products, with speed and efficiency.

3. AI in Search Gets Smarter

Google Search is also making use of AI Overview to generate immediate summaries, and options for follow-up for users. This is set to roll out in the U.S. and other regions shortly, and absolutely alters how users will access and interact with information, period. It essentially provides context-rich, AI-generated answers at the top of a user's search results.

The Dawn of a New Reality: Samsung’s XR Headset with Android XR and Gemini AI

By [Your Name], Power Pulse Tech Contributor

Samsung is taking a bold leap into the future of spatial computing with its upcoming Extended Reality (XR) headset, codenamed Project Moohan. But this isn’t just another wearable—it’s a glimpse into how artificial intelligence and immersive tech are merging to reshape the way we experience our world.

Developed in collaboration with Google and powered by its Android XR platform and Gemini AI, Project Moohan promises to be more than a headset. It's a smart, context-aware companion built to seamlessly blend physical and digital environments.

What Is Project Moohan?

Mixed Reality That Feels Real

Unlike traditional VR devices that isolate users, Project Moohan aims to create a “mixed reality” experience—blending augmented and virtual reality into something more natural and functional. Think: floating workspaces, app windows you can drag and pin around your room, and immersive media you can interact with from anywhere.

Early hands-on reports hint at a lightweight, ergonomic design, likely featuring an open-eye gasket to preserve a connection to the real world. It's designed for comfort, long-term wear, and an intuitive user interface that won’t feel like a tech chore.

The Power Duo: Android XR + Gemini AI

Smart OS Meets Smarter Assistant

At the core of this futuristic device lies Google’s Android XR, a platform purpose-built for next-gen XR hardware. Already available to developers in preview, Android XR supports familiar tools like ARCore, Jetpack Compose, Unity, and OpenXR—empowering creators to bring imaginative XR experiences to life.

But what really sets Project Moohan apart is Gemini AI.

Gemini isn’t just your typical voice assistant. It's a multimodal AI—capable of seeing, hearing, and understanding your world. Imagine navigating city streets with real-time AR directions overlaid on your path, instantly translating conversations in front of you, or having your digital workspace organized automatically based on what you're working on. This kind of contextual awareness transforms the headset from a screen to a smart extension of your senses.

Expected Specs (What We Know So Far)

Although Samsung hasn’t officially dropped full specs, early leaks and industry rumors paint a picture of a powerful, immersive system:

- Display: High-res OLED or micro-OLED, possibly 4K per eye

- Processor: Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chipset

- Input & Tracking: Eye, hand, and controller tracking with inside-out tech

- Battery: Around 2–3 hours with possible external battery support

- Connectivity: Wi-Fi 6E/7 for fast wireless communication

- AI Features: Scene recognition, real-time translation, advanced voice control

- Ecosystem Sync: Integration with Samsung’s Galaxy Watches, phones, and SmartThings

Availability & Pricing

Samsung is expected to launch Project Moohan in late 2025, likely during Q3 or Q4. The company has hinted at “exploring new XR products” in its latest earnings call, further confirming its direction.

Price Range? Estimates currently hover between $2,000–$3,000, making it a premium offering—yet potentially more accessible than Apple’s Vision Pro. With the tech baked in, that price could feel justified.

The Bigger Picture: XR Meets AI

What makes Project Moohan truly revolutionary isn’t just the tech—it’s the intelligence behind it.

We're entering a new age where spatial computing and artificial intelligence aren't just tools—they're co-pilots. Gemini AI isn’t just reacting; it’s anticipating. It can overlay step-by-step guides while you repair something, translate a sign in another language in real time, or help you learn a skill with hands-free instructions. This is true augmentation—not just of our reality, but of ourselves.

Final Thoughts

Samsung’s Project Moohan isn’t just building a headset. It’s crafting a whole new reality—intelligent, intuitive, and deeply immersive. With Android XR and Gemini AI leading the charge, this could very well be the device that shifts the conversation around how we live, work, and connect in digital spaces.

Are you ready for the future of mixed reality? We’ll be watching closely—and we suggest you do, too.
