Features

Basic components

The observer has vision and can move and turn.

The map consists of edges and can be imported through Tikz.

Ray-tracing

Intersection detection and distance calculation between rays (from the observer) and edges (from the map) are done through vector geometry.

Distance-to-height transformation is done through a semi-inverse function based on convex lens optics.

Map display

Fixed-camera mode and fixed-map mode can be toggled.

Controls
