70 | | Meghan, Phil: would be interested if they have any feedback on NIH3D as well, and if they're using AR/VR. Meghan: we had visitors using AR, Hololens 2. TomG: we don't have a Hololens, would be interested in trying molecular data. Phil: we were working with a company Enklu to put a molecule in a scene for the Hololens 2. Static model was fine but trying to move it was very stuttery. Could have been due to the overhead of the Enklu environment. Meghan: it was "no code" but had a rather high learning curve. |

72 | | potential topics: |
73 | | - Change Chain ID tool |
74 | | - how to get their pipeline to install the presets bundle in a reliable fashion |
75 | | - progress on Dock Prep |

One limitation of Hololens is restricted field of view. Phil: had to play around with room lighting to see model clearly, rather than washed out. Scooter: they are relatively expensive. TomG: AR seems good for Jacobson group use case, where people discuss a few different structures without a lot of VR manipulation. |

| 75 | - Darrell: AR company I recently found out about: https://varjo.com/products/xr-3/ |
| 76 | - Meghan: see https://varjo.com/products/xr-3/ |

| 78 | Meghan: we will be setting up a lot of hardware in Uganda, need to get more base stations. They keep failing, maybe were kept turned on continuously for too long. Even a used one is $270 on Amazon. Darrell: maybe should get on/off switch. TomG: maybe is better to leave them on rather than a lot of power cycling. But dust, power surges, temp fluctuations could all help to do them in. There are other ways to turn off, say via SteamVR. |

| 80 | ChimeraX stuff. |
| 81 | Eric: there is a Change Chain ID tool. Have made progress on |
| 82 | Dock Prep, but it's very complicated and not there yet. Could be a couple more months. Scooter: we are thinking about what features should be in version 1.5. |

| 84 | TomG: Latest !AlphaFold DB release has >200 million structures. Can fetch a specific ID quickly but searching all the sequences takes a while. Looking at RNA model database, and another method, Esmfold https://chowdera.com/2022/207/202207262300487520.html\ |

| 86 | Elaine: this paper presents AlphaFold2 performance on cryoEM challenge datasets https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2589004222007672 |

| 88 | Meghan: we're also thinking about network visualization tools for our Uganda collaborations |
