Nuno Verdelho Trindade; Lidia Custodio; Alfredo Ferreira; Joao Madeiras Pereira – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2024
Ray tracing is a computer graphics technique used to produce realistic visuals by physically simulating the behavior of light. Although this technique can be described straightforwardly, fully comprehending it might be challenging. It is typically taught in the classroom using the 2-D formats, such as paper or a blackboard. We propose using…
