I posted a message in p.o-t about my idea for a holographic camera. i'd like to
test the principle using Pov if possible. What I'd need to know is if photon's
work realistically enough to test the functionality of lenses. I,m not so sure
simple raytracing would. And then there is the question of the exact shape of a
lens and the location of it's focal point and how to model a lens in Pov.  If
it's just an intersection of 2 sphere's or a squashed sphere, it would be quite
easy, but I'm not so sure it's that simple.
