We just moved it to GitHub a month ago. Github personal user repositories only allow owners and collaborators both having full write access, and we don't want to give out full write access on our repository. So we are working on two steps: 1) make a GitHub organization which allows more levels of permission, including read access, and 2) make the repository public. The making it public part requires checking with UCSF bureaucracy because there are commercial ChimeraX licenses for companies. These steps require time from Scooter Morris and Tom Ferrin in our lab and their time is very limited, so we have not been making any progress on these goals the past month since we moved to Github, but hopefully in the coming month we will get it done.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""> I developed the ChimeraX VR capabilities and would be happy to discuss what VR ideas you are interested in. I am mostly working on multi-person VR sessions right now that use the ChimeraX meeting command. There are challenges dealing with firewalls, usually every participant is behind a firewall so a public server is needed to connect. And there are challenges synchronizing the VR state between all the participants.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Tom</div><div class=""><br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Oct 5, 2020, at 6:26 PM, Chen, Xiang <<a href="mailto:xiangc@mun.ca" class="">xiangc@mun.ca</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class="">Dear Sir or Madam,<br class=""></div> I am a graduate student at the Memorial University of Newfoundland, and I am working on the development of virtual reality applications that can be used to visualize biological microscopic data. <div class=""> May I get access to the ChimeraX GitHub repository for further non-commercial research?<br class=""></div><div class=""> Looking forward to your reply.
