Objective

Connect Kinect device to Slicer4 to control it.

Approach, Plan

The approach is to integrate Kinect in order to control Slicer (changing slices, views, etc...). An external program will be created and send data through OpenIGTLink on Slicer4, then we will try to implement Slicer4 interface to use kinect. This will only works in Windows to start. If working, maybe try to implement the opensource library (OpenKinect) to use Kinect on every platform.

Progress

Kinect is now integrated in Slicer. Two versions are available:

- Using OpenIGTLink, to send through network
- Without OpenIGTLink to use in local

Some crash remain, probably due to thread issue.
