Original Abstract Submitted
methods, systems and devices for improving design, testing and characterization of scenes and optical systems for generating those scenes are described. the described methodology can be used, for example, to improve the generation and characterization of compute generated and virtual/augmented reality sciences by taking into consideration polarizing light-matter interactions. one example method includes an improved ray tracing technique with reduced computational needs that includes generating an incoming polarized ray and determining an exitant ray of the system using a probabilistic computation after interaction with the one or more depolarizing components. the generation of the exitant ray includes selecting a jones matrix and the parameters of the incoming ray to compute a direction and a radiance of the exitant ray after interaction with a material that is at least partially depolarizing. these steps are repeated until a convergence criterion is reached.
