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	Create a complete dataset/Plus config to simulate interaction between a client using OpenIGTLinkIO and the Plus toolkit Merge IGSIO/OpenIGTLink into OpenIGTLink and close the IGSIO/OpenIGTLink repository Develop a common high-level GUI to control OpenIGTLinkIO devices	Please start each sentence in a new line.
