Project Description

Objective	Approach and Plan	Progress and Next Steps
Plus toolkit provides access to numerous hardware devices (imaging devices, tracking devices, navigations systems, sensors, etc.) and makes it available through OpenIGTLink protocol Create a common library 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 surgical navigation	Finish implementation of remote control of PlusServerLauncher Implement the ultrasound control messages Merge IGSIO/OpenIGTLink into OpenIGTLink and close the IGSIO/OpenIGTLink repository Reintegrate IGSIO/OpenIGTLinkIO in OpenIGTLinkIF
