After all those posts on porn, I wasn't about to click on anyone's links, but I thought "Oh, it's Pae, it should be safe". I'm glad I did. I had a "WOW!" moment. The illusion of the target being in front of the screen is so realistic that I couldn't shake it until he zoomed in and the target got clipped by the edge of the screen.

I got into ray-tracing in the 1990s. At the time, home computing power was such that when you did a single frame of moderate-resolution ray-trace, you could watch it rendering row by row; complex images and high resolution meant that a single frame was worth going and making a cuppa during. We've had ten or twelve Moore's since then. Are we at the point where it's possible to get something like the above demonstration with full ray-traced imaging? Could you move around in a photo-realistic scene?
