A "recursive Rift" video of sorts, showing what happens when one runs a 3D application in a 3D display environment (Oculus Rift + Razer Hydra in this case), and then in desktop mode using a 2D window and mouse and keyboard from inside the 3D display environment using a VNC client connected to a remote computer. The VNC connection is choppy and laggy because the remote computer was a laptop, connected via 100 Mbit/s Ethernet, and running a pre-TurboVNC VNC server. The interactive protein folding application was developed by Nelson Max, Silvia Crivelli, and myself at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in 2002/2003. It is available as free software through sourceforge under the name ProteinShop. Details: http://doc-ok.org/?p=850 http://idav.ucdavis.edu/~okreylos/ResDev/ProtoShop
