Streaming Red Slice to mobile device

By this you mean that building Slicer on my own and integrating the C++ OpenIGTLink will be faster, right?

Slicer already has compressed streaming video support, so you don’t need to build Slicer. You can implement a scripted module that captures a view and saves it into a vtkMRMLScalarVolumeNode and OpenIGTLinkIF module takes care of the rest.

Though I guess VNC won’t be an option for us as the mobile client will receive the stream in an application which is being developed.

You can use VNC protocol to show (and interact with) Slicer in a webpage using noVNC. For example, this is how Slicer docker containers work: Slicer runs on a cloud server and you interact with it in your web browser.
