Ray-optics: a web app to simulate the reflection and refraction of light
- dariosalvi78 4y agoyou can try to simulate the Penrose unilluminable room, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3VluzZTReE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3VluzZTReE
- bil7 4y agofun toy! Just wasted 15 mins without realising
- milkey_mouse 4y agoThere was a fun game for the Zune HD reminiscent of this called Dr. Optics Light Lab. The only record of it seems to be these poor-quality YouTube videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKvLCDMe2Og https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKvLCDMe2Og https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeUYFhT68E4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeUYFhT68E4
- the_only_law 4y agoI looked a while back to see if there was some open source equivalent to professional optical CAD software (think Zemax) Sadly, anything I found was already total abandonware.
- zokier 4y agoI just discovered this game on steam that looks vaguely similar https://store.steampowered.com/app/1511140/Laser_Attraction/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1511140/Laser_Attraction/
- herbstein 4y ago5-or-so years ago I came across a raytracing simulator that looked a bit like this, but did a full spectrograph IC light simulation on top. I haven't been able to find it since, but it was a fascinating little toy to play around with.
- NKosmatos 4y agoNice one, very well done and with many options to play around.
- wwarner 4y agoso great!

- tempodox 4y agoVery nice, color me impressed. A presentation with a button to run the thing, and a button to get to the sources. Have you seen the sources? Pure JS, no NPM hell, no build steps. And finally someone making use of the fact that our sources are all UTF-8 now :)
- 0xfaded 4y agoI've used this for reasoning about our ROV's underwater optics.
- dekhn 4y agonice to see a desktop style application with interactive canvas working in the browser.
