Company chronicle
Osterhout Design Group did not ship the R-9 or the R-8. It did not fulfill all of its R-7 orders. It ran out of money. ODG sought backing from Chinese firms, but sources say that a negative trade environment made that difficult.[4][2][5]
There were companies that made offers to buy ODG, including Magic Leap, Facebook, Razer, and Lenovo.[5]
Once Magic Leap became controlled by foreign investments, it choked ODG out of existence during the process of having signed an intent letter then backing out.[4][5]
