+==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 hampered those efforts.<ref name=vrroom>"AR Glasses Pioneer ODG Is Gone" https://web.archive.org/web/20200814224151if_/https://vrroom.buzz/vr-news/business/ar-glasses-pioneer-odg-gone</ref><ref name="x148"/>

+There were companies that made offers to buy ODG, including Magic Leap, Facebook, Razer, and Lenovo.
