Realtime ray tracing produces high quality images at interactive<br />
framerates. While the realtime rendering domain is still dominated by raster graphics, realtime ray tracing recently has become<br />
much more powerful. This paper addresses the essence of realtime<br />
raytracing: the various acceleration techniques which yield interactive performance, how coherence between rays can be exploited<br />
and effective parallelization. In addition to that, a comprehensive<br />
comparison of realtime ray tracing versus modern raster graphics<br />
hardware is given. Compared to raster graphics, ray tracing allows<br />
highly realistic image synthesis and most importantly, it scales well<br />
for massively complex scenes. Considering those advantages and<br />
the fact that realtime ray tracing software performance on PCs has<br />
finally surpassed the performance of dedicated rasterization hardware for highly complex models, all indications are that raytracing<br />
may replace rasterization based realtime rendering for scientific visualization and games in the near future.</div>Henon
