[IGSTK-Developers] Slicer - IGT Meeting, Boston, Dec 2007

[Patrick Cheng]

Hi Everyone,

Happy Holiday! I just want to give you some update on this past meeting.

Luis, Ziv, and me went to the Slicer-IGT meeting in Boston last week. As 
for our future effort to contribute to this community, we will keep 
working on the tracker code and integrate it with Slicer 3.0. Currently, 
Luis is experimenting adding observer to TrackerTool to send 
igstkTransform over socket(vtkSocketCommunicator), which can be received 
by Slicer daemons.  The initial result is good and we will keep working 
on it at AHM in Utah next month.
