[IGSTK-Users] Build a custom tracker in IGSTK

[Patrick Cheng]

Hi Chamara Jayalath,

Here is a guide on incorporating your own tracking system into the 
igstkTracker component.

Here is a paper on igstkTracker class design:

For more details about the IGSTK project, please refer to the User Guide 
Book. You should read "Chapter 9 Tracker" to learn the assumptions 
behind the igstkTracker design.

Your schedule is very tight. But if your final deliverable is a demo 
system like the Navigator application, you should be able to manage it, 
as the major work here is the Tracker integration.
