Abstract
Described herein is a technique for performing operations for a bounding volume hierarchy. The techniques include: for a bounding box with quantized orientation, the bounding box being part of a bounding volume hierarchy, rotating a ray according to the quantized orientation to generate a rotated ray; performing an intersection test against the bounding box with the rotated ray; and according to the results of the intersection test, continuing traversal of the bounding volume hierarchy.
