We originally wanted to create a specialized acceleration structure
in which a
uniform grid is transformed via the projection matrix to create a grid
aligned to
each primary ray. Unfortunately, after many hours of work, we were
unable to get this
acceleration structure working correctly. The remnants of the
implementation are visible
in our framework, however it is disabled at runtime due to bugs and a
lack of time to
complete it.
