David Gobbi: 2 items for Prostate IGT
 
* Workflow
 
** Sebastien already started the work.
 
** Compacting the GUI for complex modules
 
** It would be great to prototype the GUI using TCL/TK or Python (issues with callbacks)
 
* how to add additional windows, like external display? (two screen setup)
 
** issues with cross platform - abstraction layer for different screens
 
** making full screen in the projection window
 
*** Sebastien: I think it's doable
 
*** Steve: 10 years ago it was with filters - window to image, image to window
 
*** Stephen: big workspace, automatically handled by Slicer (configuration file)
 
*** Wendy: shared desktop / window (performance issues)
 
** Steve: Mirror a VTK window after it was rendered (send it to an image actor on the other window)
 
** Stephen: More generic - send it through the network
 
** Steve: use the same protocol for sending a stream of US, or other video/image (VTK based at Yale)
 
* Noby: should we include it into the project?
 
* David: it's a requirement for our project
 
* Steve P: it is a reasonable request
 
* Steve P: How about using a Web Browser (Flash client) for this? (Transmit through Internet)
 
* Noby: how we access this functionality? The screen configuration button that already exists?
 
* Ron: How about the Lightbox option in Slicer? Additions for IGT and stored through the MRML tree.
 
* Wendy: it's part of the human interface discussion (configurable GUI)
 
* Wendy: go through the GUI elements - hide/show functions
 
* Csaba: can we just hide/show for ourselves this widgets, like through an XML
 
* Steve: yes, that's easy to do ('''action item''')
 
* David: can we change the default 3D scene? DICOM coordinate is not in the middle of the view.
 
* Steve: this look is legacy, we should think about changing it. We need to improve it.
 
* Wendy: do we need the cube?
 
* David: yes, it's useful
 
* Steve: it should be the boundary of the volume?
 
* David: almost always, something like one cube per volume
 
* Steve: the cube is actually the patient. How about an '''outline of the human body'''?
 
* Csaba: automatic registration of the images (volume) to an anatomical atlas is not an easy task
 
 
 
 
 
Human interface
 
* Foot pedal: it's already implemented: socket using NaviTrack
 
* Point and shout
 
* Voice recognition: already used (MS technology)
 
* Audio feedback when a task is completed? Or when there's a specified status, like "you're in the tumor"? Noby - we already used that
 
* Error message / color feedback (like: IGSRK's red border around views) - beep is better many times
 
 
 
 
 
Sebastien Barre:
 
* kwwidgets/vtk
 
* based on State machine
 
* State machine: state / input / transition  - cluster of states / writer superclass / ...
 
* State machine: callback and event supported
 
* Wizard Workflow
