I currently have an AirBnb with a 180 degree panoramic view from the balcony. And I tried to take a picture with my phone. In no way did it convey how great the view is.

I have been impressed with Microsoft Labs ICE ability to stitch a good panorama together with limited distortion compensation.

I mean, it isn't like the article here but it can be handy sometimes.

But honestly, nothing beats the high resolution, real time raytracing plus other senses experience of "being there". :-) Enjoy.

I've been keen to add to my Hugin and AutoPano toolset.

Unfortunately the download links on that page 404.

Does anyone know where MS have moved them?

Wow. My apologies, it really does seem as though MS has pulled that project doesn't it.

I did find a forum post which in turn provided a wayback machine link which got me a file. I can't install on my corporate machine to test whether the results work though and no CRC/checksum forthcoming as yet, but I will test when I get home.

I hadn't considered the web archive, good call!

64bit msi installs and stitches images fine - LGTM :-)
