    Actually, we are currently working on an update to ICE.  We don't yet know when it will be ready, but we will let you know via this forum, on the ICE web page, and through ICE's built-in check for updates.

    Apparently not! Even though it was ahead of its time...Nice job with something cool Microsoft just to let it linger and fade...

    Sorry, but we are not developing ICE for Windows RT, for several reasons:

    • ICE is a desktop application, and Windows RT cannot run desktop applications.
    • If we did develop a Windows RT version of ICE, it would only be able to stitch panoramas while you're looking at the app.  As soon as you switch to another app, ICE would stop stitching because background processing is not allowed on Windows RT (to preserve battery life).
    • Developing a Windows RT version of ICE would take time away from other cool research we're doing.
