FAQ

Question: Can I use the latest version of the (Unity, Oculus Runtime, Leap Motion) SDK’s? Answer: Probably not, use all the versions specified above.

Question: I don't see any molecules/proteins, just a background image. Why is that? Answer: You probably don't have openbabel installed correctly. Please check your installation.

Question: After installing Oculus Runtime 1.3, the graphics (especially details) is distorted at longer distances. Can I improve the graphics? Answer: Yes you can! This is due to something known as supersampling. Here's a good description of how to improve graphics on Oculus Rift: http://www.roadtovr.com/improve-oculus-rift-game-image-quality-using-this-tool-oculus-debug-tool/. Be sure to read the instructions and follow every step of it.

Question: It still doesn’t work. Any hints? Answer: Make sure you pull down all files correctly (also the one from Github’s LSF), and that your computer meets the requirements.
