PROJECT_STATUS04_TITLE=Modeling Deformable Tissue
PROJECT_STATUS05_DESCR=The final goal is the same as in the original proposal.  I 
have only changed the order of the steps from the proposed
approach.  Current Plan:
1) Familiarization with the development environment.
      The virtual environment will be programmed with OpenGL
    as it will not be structurally complex, and we will not
    need the extra functionality of high level programs that
    are available at the expense of decreased performance.
    I need to learn OpenGL programming, as I haven't used 
    it before.
2) Incorporating the 4 DOF Immersion joystick device 
      Implementation of an angled scope (which moves the
    the viewpoint) and the manipulator.  Both of them
    are controlled with the Immersion joystick.  
3) Adding deformable model
      Basic manipulation of deformable model (not 
    interactive).
4) User interaction
      Interaction with the deformable model through the 
    Immersion joystick with visual display of estimated
    interaction forces.


PROJECT_STATUS06_WDONE=First two steps of the plan are completed.  I am currently
in the process of adding deformability to the model.
PROJECT_STATUS08_OUTPT=Monitor
PROJECT_STATUS09_SYSTM=Other
PROJECT_STATUS10_DEADL=I am planning to show the initial results of the third step
of the plan (see above).
