Summary	0001881: OR-compatible remote control interface
Description	Dr. Alex Golby requested an interface that could be used in the operating room that would support remote control of the visualization settings for a case. Current practice is to have a large display screen in the OR that is connected to a computer outside the OR. The lead technologist or other assistant responds to verbal requests from the surgeon for changes to the view. Dr. Golby would also like the ability to make view changes directly in some circumstances. Several alternatives are possible: voice control, foot pedals, sterilized control (autoclavable mice and keyboards are available), full-size touch monitor, or a small touch screen in a sterile bag.
Additional Information	Custom-made wireless interfaces have been developed for experimentation: http://www.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/2011_Summer_Project_Week_Wireless_Joystick
Tags	No tags attached.

This version supports touch interaction to select images and scroll through acquisition volumes. This version supports a REST web services API implemented through an embedded web server in a running slicer process. This server provides a web app version of an interface to slicer's internal state including both access to data and ability to invoke processing logic.
