[chimerax-users] VR movie

[Matthias Wolf]

Hi Tom,

I really liked your CoV movie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKNbRRRFhqY&feature=youtu.be
It’s a new way of storytelling. Although we have used chimeraX in the lab with a Vive and Vive pro for about 2 years, it’s usually one person at a time, with a dark background. But your way opens up interactive VR to a larger audience (even if they don’t get to enjoy the stereoscopic 3D). And it’s cool.

I have some questions:

  1.  How did you overlay the chimera viewport sync’d with the life camera feed showing yourself? Did you use a frame grabber on a different PC to capture the full-screen chimeraX VR viewport while simultaneously recording the camera video stream, e.g. using Adobe Premiere?
  2.  How did you control flipping out the outer spike domain with your hand controller? I guess you assigned control of a torsional angle in the atomic model to a mouse mode?
  3.  Did you enable the headset cameras to orient yourself in the room?

Thanks for keeping improving chimeraX and VR!

Matthias
