Intersect 3D Rays (Closest Point)

Let’s unravel the math behind 3D rays and demonstrate that it’s not significantly more challenging than the conventional 2D case.

1. Introduction

Motivation

In fields like computer graphics, autonomous vehicle navigation or augmented reality, where immersive experiences are created through the manipulation of 3D environments, a deep understanding of ray intersection and triangulation algorithms empowers data scientists to craft lifelike simulations and interactive virtual worlds.

It also demonstrates that mathematical principles such as pseudo-inverse …
