Windows 8 Metro apps

Hi,

I am doing some metro app development for school using Windows 8 tablets. I would like to use OpenCV for image processing, particularly with augmented reality, but in Metro apps you can't run native code. So wrappers would not work. You can use C++ to write apps/libraries, but it can't have any native library dependencies.

So will OpenCV be ported or made available for Metro apps? Is there a way to get the existing code to work without any major rewrites?

Thanks, Andrew
