RAY-UI: A user interface for RAY
In cooperation with the “Beuth Hochschule für Technik Berlin”, Department of Computer and Media, we are currently working on a UI (User Interface) for our ray tracing software “RAY”. Our aims are:
- improving the parameter input and usability
- introduce future-proof and easily extendable software architecture (also for the ray tracing algorithm)
- guarantee as most as possible the reliability of the simulated data
- setting up a team orientated and professional development environment
- giving students the chance to work on a “real” software project
