Project Description

Objective	Approach and Plan	Progress and Next Steps
Slicer lacks interactive support for moving, rotating and scaling objects in the user interface. It would be nice to be able to interact directly with an object. The main objective of this project would be to allow user to change a transform parameters with through interaction. The objects under that transform should be automatically updated accordingly and the interaction representation should always match the transform properties. We would also like to explore adding new markup types in Slicer such as planes and paths. Those would be integrated using the infrastructure in place.	Add a translation widget which: Allows the user to move the objects under a transform. Updates the transform interactively. Updates itself whenever the transform is changed. At this point, we would ask for feedback to the community. Explore the addition of a simple markup type like a plane.
