  "Real-time raytracing" is not an unambiguous term.
  There have been real-time raytracers in the mid-90's for the first Pentium,
so in that sense that's old news. It doesn't *become* doable because it
has been doable for over 5 years.

  All this comes down to how we really want to define "realtime raytracing".
What kind of frame rates, scene complexity and image resolution is enough
to satisfy the conditions?
