Abstract

"Focus" uses Real-Time Ray Tracing (or NVIDIA RTX) not only for rendering the entire scene. It also features innovative usage of Real-Time Ray Tracing for its gameplay by tracing the player's view rays in order to detect if they hit the Focussphere, focussing on which the player's goal is.
