<!-- Objective bullet points -->
* [http://www.plustoolkit.org Plus toolkit] provides access to numerous hardware devices (imaging devices, tracking devices, navigations systems, sensors, etc.) and makes it available through [http://www.openigtlink.org OpenIGTLink] protocol
* Create a common library, [http://igsio.github.io OpenIGTLinkIO] that makes communication with Plus (and OpenIGTLink-compatible devices or software) very simple:
** Ensure software interoperability
** Share software maintenance workload
** Make it easy to share new features
* Add specific features for tracked ultrasound and and augmented reality in surgical navigation
|
<!-- Approach and Plan bullet points -->
* Improve message header sent by Plus Toolkit for US machines(Ole Vegar, Simon)
* Build a complete US session simulation (OpenIGTLinkIO motifs, Plus config, Automated tests)  (Ole Vega, Simon)
* Add missing functionality in OpenIGTLinkIO to complete reintegration in OpenIGTLinkIF (Simon, Longquan )
* Improve support to launch Plus server remotely (Csaba + Andras)
* Adapt OpenIGTLinkIO to handle video compression functionality added to OpenIGTLink (Etienne + Longquan + Adam)
