Abstract

Ray tracing is an integral and mathematically complex part of the field of Computer Graphics. With recent advances towards real-time ray tracing students now more than ever need help understanding the concept. With this thesis I set out to discover what an effective way would be to visualise ray tracing within an application and how much the application would help people understand ray tracing better. To answer these question I together with a project partner designed an application that could visualise the inner workings of ray tracing and a corresponding user study to test it. Despite some setbacks while writing the application the user study turned out to be overwhelmingly positive. According to the data the application was adequate in visualising ray tracing and could aid people with learning about ray tracing. I highly recommend doing more research and improve upon this application.
