I was actually thinking a mechanical projector of rays. It reaches out until
it hits an object, "feels" somehow the color and texture, points in the direction
of the reflection, and so on. If it needs to go through an object, it pulls out its
drill and makes a hole in the object to reach through.

Anyway, I thought of a better idea. I will see if I can implement it.

And it's definitely black and white. Go for photorealism! have you ever seen
a physical blue and yellow checkered floor?
