Ray-tracing in real time mentioned on Xbox One

It is still on Twitter that Phil Spencer distills info on the Xbox One a user directly asked him if it was possible that the console could be coupled with the cloud to do ray-tracing, and Mr Spencer responded that they had done experiments with ray-tracing in real time and technology had great potential.

Ray-tracing is a rendering technique that allows bright photorealistic effects based on reflection and refraction of light. Hard to tell if all that will actually happen someday on our next-gen consoles, but you can find below a video of Nvidia, which was precisely a ray-tracing quite impressive real-time demo.

   @albertpenello @XboxP3 Is it possible that a few years down the line the #XboxOne Cloud could be used for Ray-Tracing !?
