i read in gamexeon about ray tracing

so what is this Ray tracing ?

from: wikipedia

Ray tracing is a method for calculating the path of waves or particles through a system. The method is practiced in two distinct forms:

* Ray tracing (physics), which is used for analyzing optical and other systems
* Ray tracing (graphics), which is used for 3D image generation

IBM use cell processor to demo ray tracing
