The general navigation system consists of the following components:

Slicer3: the base platform for navigation
IGT loadable modules: Software modules, pluginned into Slicer3, for supporting IGT specific functionality
IGSTK: An interfacing tool for common commercial tracking devices
Tracking device: e.g. NDI Aurora tracking system

This tutorial explains how to set up a general navigation system with a tracking simulator.

Download one of the following binaires of OpenIGTLink module. These binaries have been tested working against Slicer3.2.

If you'd like to build OpenIGTLink module from the source code, find the instructions here.
Copy the binary into your-slicer3-build(install)-directory/lib/Slicer3/Modules.
You should see OpenIGTLink in the Slicer3 module list after Slicer is started.

This is a dummy client program to send coordinate data to the slicer Open IGT Link module.
