Java library for OpenIGTLink protocol. The OpenIGTLink protocol is a simple but extensible data format to transfer various types of data among software and devices used in image-guided therapy (IGT) scene e.g. surgical navigation software, tracking device, robotic device, imaging scanner. The protocol can handle image, tracking data, transform, device control and monitoring command, and other user-defined data types. It is designed to work in the application layer of the TCP/IP stack, but not limited to it; developers can use this protocol with UDP/IP or other network protocol models. 3D Slicer" supports OpenIGTLink and has interface module as OpenIGTLinkIF, which is currently available in 3D You can find last updates of this project at : http://code.google.com/p/igtlink4j/
