Company chronicle[edit]
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.[7][2][8]
There were companies that made offers to buy ODG, including Magic Leap, Facebook, Razer, and Lenovo.[8]
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.[7][8]
