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, OpenIGTLinkIO 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 and augmented reality in surgical navigation	Improve message header sent by Plus Toolkit for US machines(Ole Vegar, Simon) Build a complete US session simulation (OpenIGTLinkIO motifs, Plus config, Automated tests) (Ole Vega, Simon) Add missing functionality in OpenIGTLinkIO to complete reintegration in OpenIGTLinkIF (Simon, Longquan ) Improve support to launch Plus server remotely (Csaba + Andras) Adapt OpenIGTLinkIO to handle video compression functionality added to OpenIGTLink (Etienne + Longquan + Adam)	Please start each sentence in a new line.
