I just now put a Facebook challenge out to our university student Bioinformatics Club to work on creating a ChimeraX plug in support for holographic screens for the ChimeraX toolshed. I'll let you know if they organize a group around it. I could also put my Computer Languages group class project on the task next year too.

Subject: Re: [Chimera-users] Auto-Stereo 3D

One of the 3D displays that do not use glasses is called Looking Glass.

Chimera does not work with it, but a friend (Tom Skillman) has one and said it is interesting.

We are always interested in new 3d viewing technologies. However, any support for new technologies would be done as part of ChimeraX, https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/, the Chimera successor. With our limited resources, it's unlikely that we would implement anything soon, but we would welcome and assist a contributed ChimeraX bundle.

I'd like to suggest that instead of waiting for AS3D to become a viable option, that you either get a stereo 3D projector for presenting 3D to groups, similar to a movie theatre, or a VR headset for single person 3D. Those appear to be the only available long term solutions right now. If you can find a 3D TV anymore, that would work too.

And don't forget that Chimera and ChimeraX require a workstation graphics card for stereo 3D -- so a mid- to high-end AMD FirePro or NVIDIA Quadro.

HTH,

Dear Chimera developers,

We are most interested of always using stereo in Chimera.

Lately there have been presented Auto-Stereo 3D displays: https://www.tri-evolution.com/en/auto-stereo-3d/

Because of this convenience in 'no need to use any stereo glasses' we wonder if Chimera is supporting Auto-stereo 3D displays, now or in near future.

We thank you in advance

Cheers

Peter
