This tutorial uses a tracking simulator to explain how navigation works in Slicer3. A general IGT navigation system consists of Slicer3 (the base platform), IGSTK (an interfacing tool for common commercial tracking devices) and a tracking device (such as the NDI Aurora magnetic tracking system). In this tutorial, a tracking simulator simulates both the tracking device and the IGSTK interfacing software.
