IGT breakout session for Slicer interface

<< back to Slicer IGT Programming Event

Overall Goal: creating a useful, satisfying, extensible environment for IGT applications

  • displaying essential information
  • providing access to essential functionality
  • allowing some ability to configure layout for different applications
  • providing appropriate workflow support

Process:

  • develop understanding of user needs (today's primary goal)
  • refract through engineering constraints
  • develop design plan
  • get user feedback
  • implement
  • test, feedback, refinements, repeat.

For discussion:

Are topics below appropriate, and what’s missing?

Displaying essential information:

  • what information should be exposed?
  • what information can/should be present but hidden?
  • what information should be removed?

Providing access to essential functionality:

  • is there a “core” set of functionality?
  • how to configure core environment?
  • how to expose “hot-load” for additional functionality?

Allowing ability to configure layout for different applications:

  • list layout requirements by application -> table to distill
  • discuss multi-window versus consolidated display
  • additional layout/display requirements: fonts, colors, audio, etc.?

Providing appropriate workflow support:

  • feedback on existing workflow wizard

Determine good mechanism for ongoing discussion: wiki? Mailing list? Tcon?
