<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class="">Hi Escarlet,<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""> ChimeraX VR will not run standalone on the Oculus Quest but it will probably work with the Quest link cable connected to a PC running Windows 10 with a sufficiently powerful graphics card for PC VR (e.g. Geforce GTX 1060 or faster). It will not run on the Quest standalone because the Quest uses the Android operating system and ChimeraX only runs on Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems. I have not tried ChimeraX VR with a Quest with the link cable because I do not have a Quest, but all headsets that work with SteamVR have worked for me, including HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Oculus Rift S, Vive Pro, Samsung Odyssey so I think any SteamVR compatible headset will work. My preferred ChimeraX VR headset is currently Oculus Rift S. But if you will be using the VR for entertainment then the Quest is a good choice. The best performing VR headset for a PC I think is the Valve Index (based on reviews, since I do not have one) but the cost is high ($1000) and it is back-ordered for at least 8 weeks.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Tom<br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Aug 18, 2020, at 6:45 AM, Miriam Díaz Galicia <<a href="mailto:miriam.diazgalicia@kaust.edu.sa" class="">miriam.diazgalicia@kaust.edu.sa</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#0b5394">Dear chimeraX users</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#0b5394"><br class=""></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#0b5394">I would like to buy my first VR headset to use with ChimeraX.
