We're very glad that you've had success with ICM. Your project sounds
interesting, and we hope you do well in the Imagine Cup with or without ICM.
We have not announced plans to release a new version of ICM at this time.
If you can elaborate on what you mean by matching of points and distortion,
perhaps we can help you improve your results with the current version. Are
you seeing that your motions don't map well to the actor? Are you concerned
about latency? What is the use case where ICM is failing for you?
Thanks,

Matching will vary from gesture to gesture based on the type of motion.
Cyclic motions that involve end-effector motion, hands and feet, should
match best.
Unfortunately, if you're getting interference from light (presumably
sunlight), there's little we can do at the software level. Sunlight
interferes with the depth measurements of the sensor which in turn corrupts
the depth map and skeleton data. The best we can do is try to filter the
joint positions to remove some jitter and detect truly incorrect information
from NITE.
