If you've got a PC with a decent graphics card, you might want to have a look at
Shadertoy.com - it's more technical than writing pov code, and more prone to
glitches, but it's so much faster!

I've ported a few of my old POV-Ray scenes to it -
https://www.shadertoy.com/user/TekF/sort=love - it's amazing to see them running
in realtime.

Good find! The best bit is you can just hit play and instantly your 
creation (or an error...) is shown rendered in real-time. No need to 
mess about with boiler-plate code, just write the pixel shader.

Very good, I'll have to look up some of mine that are suitable. I'm 
amazed at what some people have achieved on there.

This is fun!

I started to write a framework for a raytracer but it got too 
complicated, so I started with a simple reflective sphere(s) over a 
reflective plane example (of course with multiple-level reflections, 
shadows and specular highlights!). It runs at 60fps (or maybe 30fps, I 
can't tell) even in full-screen here (Chrome/Win7).

Surprisingly it actually runs at 5fps on my *phone*...  :-S

Cool! Is the one in th emiddle hanging from an invisible string? Or is  
this like in the matrix? :)

Nope, it just has a mass of zero at the moment :-)

Then it has to be a hologram :)

BTW I added some focal blur and AA, not 100% sure on the physical 
correctness of my focal blur algorithm, I kind of made it up as I went 
along. Will have to check the POV source to see how that works.
