 Scooter: what can we do to support/promote use of your visualization wall? Meghan: so far the networking aspect has occupied us, rather than the content of the display.  Scooter: may need to handle menuing differently, for example.  Maybe as you get more experience with it, please do give feedback on interface issues. Eric: and for selection, rather than Ctrl-click... Darrell: the wall is multitouch. Also it's not just extra-large but ultrawide. Phil: need to check out how it works with tiling. TomG: the multitouch might already work in some capacity.
 
-Greg: is anybody getting one of those Aces (?) monitors with autostereo? Scooter: reviews have not been that good.  We could purchase a widescreen monitor to investigate some of these issues. Meghan: speaking of hardware, could you get a Quest Pro? We have two. Allows all to see each other in VR, not as "Picasso heads."

Meghan: speaking of hardware, could you get a Quest Pro with passthrough video? We have two. Allows all to see each other in VR, not as "Picasso heads." (something I didn't catch about having to wear blinders to block out surrounding light) TomG: depth-sensing can be tricky with these cameras.
+
+Scooter: also on the list, exporting a ChimeraX session for Quest2 VR (as detailed in email from TomG 1/25/23)
+
+Scooter: last thing on my list, exploring pedagogical benefits of VR vs. laptop/desktop screen.  Anything else?
+
+Darrell: keep level of effort about the same as last year.
+
+Phil: maybe this falls under NIH3D umbrella, have you heard anything more from Enduvo?  TomG: no. Phil: I need to contact them soon, will prod them about this.  TomG: was using 2.6.0 experimental version, with gltf warnings... lack of colors may relate to that, maybe they are not supporting gltf well.  Phil: they "support" many formats but level of support may not be very high. I could get surfaces of different colors but other things like ribbons were white.  TomG: each surface is a single color, though. So Enduvo can show single color per object. ChimeraX ribbons use vertex colors, not single colors, which is come up as white in Enduvo. Phil: Enduvo may not handle vertex colors regardless of format.
+
+Kristen: one open issue for NIH3D, not showing zinc atoms #8218.
+Eric: again an EBI assembly file for NMR structure. Greg: something about disjoint sets of atoms?  TomG: works in daily build.  Greg: was same problem as another ticket that has been fixed.  Will close ticket.
+
+Meghan: haptic feedback on hydrophobic/hydrophilic or ESP? Elaine: need something with a gradient, and also we don't have a full interaction energy calculation (e.g. no VDW/steric component), so it wouldn't be very helpful for manual ligand docking.  Maybe fitting atoms into density?  TomG: this is just a vibration, not a force, so may not be very helpful/intuitive.
