ODG partners with China Mobile’s Migu to take augmented reality to Chinese consumers
Osterhout Design Group is going to China. The maker of augmented reality glasses has partnered with China Mobile’s Migu Video subsidiary to deploy ODG’s smartglasses in China.
ODG makes AR smartglasses that can overlay computer-generated imagery on top of the real world, helping you see the world around you in new ways.
“This partnership marks the coming together of ODG’s industry-leading AR platform, MIGU’s multimedia and on-demand content services, and China Mobile’s large, leading wireless distribution network,” said Bin Wang, president and CEO of Migu Video, in a statement.
ODG will be showcasing its growing portfolio of smartglasses at CES 2017, the big tech trade show in Las Vegas in January. Osterhout founded ODG in 1999, and the company raised a $58 million round of funding in December. Investors include 21st Century Fox, Shenzhen O-film Tech Co., Ltd., and Vanfund Urban Investment & Development.
