'''Suggested additional points for agenda'''<nowiki>: </nowiki>

* Define scope of discussion:
** standards for devices that are used for navigation

* State of the art in 6-dof tracking: EM/Optical/ultrasonic/active/passive
** hazards associated with each system, either with respect to accuracy or OR safety
** particular strengths of systems wrt ergonomics, versatility, reliability, accuracy
** emerging technologies for tracking and the roles they will play
** development of standard interfaces and software

* Related Technologies
** haptics: using image information as feedback
** virtual reality: utilizing tracking to create a virtual scene

* Localizing and tracking soft tissue targets
** intra-operative imaging and tracking
** methods for direct tracking of non-rigid targets (e.g. laser scanning)
** methods for indirect tracking of non-rigid targets (e.g. modelling of deformation)
