Objective

The objective of this study is to grab and visualize video images in Slicer3 as soon as they are acquired. The source of the video can be laparoscope or ultrasound for my project. However, generally the video source can be any modality capable of streaming out the video.

Approach, Plan

Real-time video grabbing and visualization have been implemented previously for the ultrasound in [AtamiViewer]. However, this time I am trying to do that in Slicer3.
