{{documentation/{{documentation/version}}/module-section|Module Description}}

The SlicerToKiwiExporter module provides Slicer user with any easy way to export [[Documentation/{{documentation/version}}/Modules/Models|models]] into a [http://www.kiwiviewer.org/ KiwiViewer] scene file.

[http://www.kiwiviewer.org/ KiwiViewer] is a free, open-source visualization app for exploring scientific and medical datasets that runs on Android and iOS mobile devices with multi-touch interaction. [http://www.kiwiviewer.org/ KiwiViewer] supports a variety of file formats, including obj, stl, ply, and vtk. Datasets may be loaded into [http://www.kiwiviewer.org/ KiwiViewer] from the SD card, email attachments, or Midas, or DropBox, or downloaded from a URL.

The following tutorials will provide steo-by-step instructions to:
* [[#Saving_a_MRML_scene_as_KiwiViewer_scene_file|Export a Slicer MRML scene into KiwiViewer scene file]]
* [[#Uploading_KiwiViewer_Scene_file_to_Midas|Upload the exported file onto a shared data source]]
* [[#Loading_KiwiViewer_Scene_file_from_Midas|Load the exported file into KiwiViewer]]
