Dear Samsung Sponsorship Team, I am writing to request consideration for a sponsorship in the form of a single Samsung Odyssey 3D (G90XF) monitor to support the continued development of ChimeraX, a powerful open-source visualization software used by scientists and researchers worldwide. About ChimeraX: ChimeraX is a state-of-the-art molecular visualization program developed by the Resource for Biocomputing, Visualization, and Informatics at the University of California, San Francisco. This software is freely available for both academic and industrial use, serving thousands of researchers globally who work in fields such as: * Protein Design * Structural biology * Drug discovery and pharmaceutical research * Materials science * Biochemistry and molecular biology education The software specializes in rendering complex 3D molecular structures with exceptional clarity and detail, making it an essential tool for scientific research and education. Why the Samsung Odyssey 3D (G90XF) Monitor? The advanced 3D capabilities of your Odyssey 3D monitor would significantly enhance ChimeraX's development in the following ways: 1. Improved Spatial Visualization: The monitor's 3D technology would allow our developers to implement and test more realistic spatial rendering of molecular structures. 2. Enhanced User Experience: With proper support for your 3D technology, ChimeraX users worldwide would benefit from unprecedented depth perception when analyzing complex molecular structures. 3. Technical Innovation: The integration would enable new visualization features that are currently impossible with standard displays. Mutual Benefits This sponsorship opportunity offers several advantages for Samsung: * Exposure to Scientific Community: Your technology would be featured in a widely-used scientific application, showcasing its capabilities to companies, researchers and institutions globally. * Market Expansion: As ChimeraX adds support for your monitor's 3D capabilities, it would create a compelling reason for industry, laboratories, and research institutions worldwide to purchase the Samsung Odyssey 3D. * Technology Leadership: This partnership would demonstrate Samsung's commitment to supporting scientific advancement and innovation. Our Request We are requesting a single Samsung Odyssey 3D (G90XF) 27" monitor to integrate proper support for its 3D capabilities into ChimeraX. Once implemented, we could: * Acknowledge Samsung's contribution in our documentation and release notes * Provide regular updates on the implementation progress * Share user feedback and testimonials about the enhanced experience Thank you for considering this sponsorship opportunity. I believe this collaboration would be valuable for both Samsung and the global scientific community and industries that rely on ChimeraX. We look forward to discussing this proposal further and would be happy to provide any additional information you may require. Sincerely, André Michaelis, ChimeraX customer https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimerax/ André Michaelis —————————————————— André Michaelis Max-Planck Institute of Biochemistry Dept.
