Real-time Ray Tracing

Real-time ray tracing is a computer graphics technique that simulates how light interacts with objects in a scene to create highly realistic images, all fast enough to update instantly enough for video games and interactive applications. Unlike traditional methods, it traces the paths of individual light rays as they bounce, reflect, and refract, producing accurate shadows, reflections, and lighting effects in real-time. This enhances visual realism significantly, making virtual environments look more lifelike while still maintaining seamless performance.
