The general navigation system consists of the following components:

Slicer3: the base platform for navigation
IGT loadable modules: Software modules, pluginned into Slicer3, for supporting IGT specific functionality
IGSTK: An interfacing tool for common commercial tracking devices
Tracking device: e.g. NDI Aurora tracking system

This tutorial explains how to set up a general navigation system with a tracking simulator.

Download one of the following binaires of OpenIGTLink module. These binaries have been tested working in Slicer3.2.

Unzip the binary and copy all files into your-slicer3-build(install)-directory/lib/Slicer3/Modules.
You should see OpenIGTLink in the Slicer3 module list after Slicer is started.

This tracker simulator will generate and send fake tracking data to Slicer3. Download one of the following binaries:
- For Linux (x86, 32-bit), click here.
- For Linux (x86, 64-bit), click here.
- For Windows (32-bit), click here.
- For Mac OS X (x86), click here.
Unzip the binary to some place on your computer.
