Hi Krish, I added ChimeraX support for the LookingGlass display more than 3 years ago. My conclusion at that time was that it was only good as a marketing exhibit, for example, if you want to show interesting molecular structures on a wall where visitors come to see what you work on. It is not useful for a researcher to study molecular structures. The resolution is too poor, you can't use the mouse pointer to interact and select things in that display, you have to switch between looking at that display and a conventional display to use ChimeraX user interface panels. As a marketing exhibit you'd probably want the 32" ($20000) or 65" (price undisclosed maybe $50,000-$100,000). If you do want to try it let me warn you that I added ChimeraX support back when they sold a different model and I have never tested it on the current models so I am not sure it works on the newer model LookingGlass displays.

Hi Krish, There is a ChimeraX "lookingglass" command, see:

Hi guys, Happy new year. I came across this https://www.schrodinger.com/3d-visualization-looking-glass-holographic-displ... . Can we look forward to having this compatible for chimerax since we are having difficulty finding 3D stereo displays for structural biology. Regards Krish
