Title

Middleware

Requirements

Reliable for command transfer (all data transferred, in order)
Fast for tracking data transfer (only the latest coordinate is required, can lose data)
Image transfer (500K or more)
Data types (struct: string, integer, float)
Data type checking (number is correctly formatted etc)
Time out (device is down)

Would be nice to have

 =Potential application in IGT=
+* Tracker data transfer
+* Image transfer from MRI
+* Robot coordinate transfer
+* Robot control
+* Periferials: OpenTracker/Navitrack has 3D mouse driver etc.
