Hi Tom,
ChimeraX VR will not work on an Oculus Quest headset. Oculus Quest is a standalone headset, it doesn't connect to a PC, and it runs the Android operating system. ChimeraX runs on Windows, Linux and macOS operating systems but not Android. Since Android is a cell-phone operating system and the molecular biology research applications we focus on is not typically done on cell-phones, it is not likely ChimeraX will ever run on Android -- it would be a big project to make that happen.
Here are some slides that talk a bit about the VR hardware ChimeraX runs on and also mentions other AR/VR hardware we it does not work on and gives some details why

HI
First please excuse my computer language ignorance. My question is: Is the Oculus Quest compatible with Chimera X; if it is, is software available to link the program to the Quest. I am aware already that the Rift can be connected and also certain phones.
Thank you for you time.
Best
Tom
