 Phil: still evaluating what we need for figuring out molecule size/dimensions in the 3D pipeline
 
-Phil: what are VR options without tether? TG: Vive 2 with wireless adaptor.  Phil: that's not supported in Uganda.
-
-Phil: performance on Apple Silicon Macs? TG: we have a mac mini but not made a native ChimeraX for that cpu, am using Intel emulation, performance seems fine although native version could be faster. PyQT interface not yet available for Silicon.
+Phil: has wireless VR with Quest 2 to a desktop been tried with ChimeraX? TG: No.  Quest 2 with tether works fine.  Also we use Vive  Pro with wireless adaptor.  Phil: Vive wireless is not supported in Uganda because computers don't have a slot for the wireless card.

+Phil: performance on Apple Silicon Macs? TG: we have a mac mini but not made a native ChimeraX for that cpu, am using Intel emulation, performance seems fine although native version could be faster. PyQT library not yet available for Apple Silicon.  Some python benchmark reported as 3x faster on Apple M1 vs Apple Intel.  Philip:  Can't trust ARM vs Intel benchmarks.  TG: We could benchmark python uses but have not yet.  ChimeraX port to Apple M1 is probably at least 6 months away due to need for all third-party libraries to be ported.
 
 Some discussion of how to temporarily change $HOME on linux with the unix "env" command. Philip: got around it by containerizing. Scooter: maybe should have $CHIMERAX_HOME. Greg: have ChimeraX create a temporary home (that gets removed).
