Abstract

With the quick advancements of modern technology, ray tracing in computer graphics has become key in creating computer-generated images. To get a better understanding of how ray tracing works, the Virtual Ray Tracer desktop application was created. Rays are traced in scenes and the user can observe the paths these rays take. Virtual Ray Tracer is made with the intent of educating students and computer graphics enthusiasts about the art of ray tracing. In this thesis, we adapt this existing application to both a functional web application and a fully functional and redesigned mobile device application. Instead of being required to download a desktop application, Virtual Ray Tracer can now be downloaded or used on different platforms. The application has become more accessible and this way a broader audience is reached. A user study was conducted to retrieve feedback for the mobile application. The reported bugs and the retrieved feedback were used to improve the mobile application.
