 Kristen: re presets, we are missing output for rainbow-vis, ribbon-bychain-vis, ribbon-secondary-vis. Phil: these presets are in the menu, they just aren't named with "vis." Kristen: we are getting outputs for the printable versions but not the visualization versions. Eric: I will fix the script to also generate outputs for those. Phil: the presets exist. Michal: These are updates to the scripts rather than the presets themselves.
 
+...at end of meeting: Michal: I think I made the needed changes, Eric should check.

 Kristen: we also want to synchronize with your ChimeraX 1.5 release.  What is the timeframe?  TomG: release candidate starting today, typically wait 2 weeks to a month to make it official.  So a rough estimate is mid-November. but it really depends on the bug reports that come in.  Phil: so we should get the release candidate. Kristen: will we be notified automatically when it's available?  ChimeraX team: we don't email the whole list for the candidate but we can email NIAID folks about it. TomG: typically release about twice a year.

 Phil: the HOLE results looked better because the surface was smoother (planes and resulting spheres closer together). TomG: molecular surface on marker model would also help take care of that.

+TomG: been doing more VR recently. New more expensive Quest system has been announced, not sure we need any of its latest features. Have experimented with using OpenXR instead of SteamVR. Phil: does it work with Macs? TomG: Not as far as I know.  Rumor is that Apple will release a headset next year.

+Phil: now in Meta store, Dlink VR Airbridge, ~$100, dongle with built-in router, supported directly by Quest2. Victor just ordered a couple for us to try. Unclear how many can be used in the same room.
+
+Meghan: we are excited to finally have access to our new bioviz lab, after county inspections etc. Still trying to catch up after the trip. AR/XR Nigeria involved some medical students, there is a lot to follow up on.  Need to find private partner for $$ support for their activities. Have been in contact with Meta. Phil: training courses for hackathon prep will include VR basics, Unity. That was funded by Meta. TomG: we have funding from CZI for software maintenance.

+Discussion of rollout of new NIH3D. Old one is running older software that won't get security updates after November; although it won't be shut down until somebody tells us we have to shut it down, that's one important reason we want the new one to be available in December.
