ABSTRACT
Ray tracing has become commodity in rendering and first ray tracing hardware emerges. Hence, the quest for an API is on. The course reviews current efforts and abstractions, especially the interaction of rasterization and ray tracing, cross platform challenges, realtime constraints, and enabling applications beyond image synthesis.

Distributed ray tracing
Ray tracing is one of the most elegant techniques in computer graphics. Many phenomena that are difficult or impossible with other techniques are simple with ray tracing, including shadows, reflections, and refracted light. Ray directions, however, ...
Ray tracing-based interactive diffuse indirect illumination
Despite great efforts in recent years to accelerate global illumination computation, the real-time ray tracing of fully dynamic scenes to support photorealistic indirect illumination effects has yet to be achieved in computer graphics. In this paper, we ...
Adaptive radiosity textures for bidirectional ray tracing
We present a rendering method designed to provide accurate, general simulation of global illumination for realistic image synthesis. Separating surface interaction into diffuse plus specular, we compute the specular component on the fly, as in ray ...
