Dear COOT developers and experts,
Now that there are VR headsets with high-enough resolution (such as the HP Reverb G2) that allow reading smaller text and finer details in VR, I hope that the molecular visualization and modelling software will start providing easy-to-use support for these devices. I see that COOT has some work done in this space, but I could not find detailed-enough information; so, I have a few questions: * Does COOT currently have built-in support for VR, or is this feature available only in some internal development versions? * Do both Windows and Linux versions have VR support? * Does COOT support only a specific headset/controller combination (e.g., HTC Vive), or does it work with a variety of these (e.g., also with WMR headsets and controllers)? * Is there a recommended minimum system spec for getting high-enough frame rates with large models? (I know that usually we look at only a very small part of a structure, but still ) * Is there documentation on how to launch a COOT VR session? * Are both consumer or professional line GPUs supported? (This is related to the need for a Quadro card supporting QuadBuffered stereo for a 3DVision system [3D monitor and 3D glasses, which is our current setup]). Is there a difference between using either (i.e., would one be recommended over the other for any reason)? We are planning to put together a new system soon for molecular visualization and modelling, and answers to these will guide us in our effort.
