[IGSTK-Users] IGSTK: Polaris and recorded images synchronization

[Patrick Cheng]

Hi Lai,

vtkNDITracker class is the precursor of igstk tracker code. If that 
tracking code works and you have your video recording working in VTK, I 
would recommend you do it in VTK.

VideoGrabber component is currently under development, so there is no 
video recording capability in IGSTK yet. Once we have that, it will be 
relatively easy to do this in IGSTK.

I hope this helps,

Patrick
