helixtoolkit ARC3D

Helix Toolkit is an open-source library for creating 3D graphics and scientific visualizations in .NET platforms, such as WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) and Silverlight. It provides a comprehensive set of tools and components to develop immersive 3D applications, including AR (Augmented Reality) and VR (Virtual Reality) support.

ARC3D (short for Advanced Ray Casting) is a specific module within Helix Toolkit that focuses on ray casting techniques, which are essential for rendering 3D scenes by simulating light rays from the viewer's eye. It allows developers to interact with objects in space by detecting intersections between rays and geometry, enabling features like picking, selection, and collision detection. With ARC3D, you can create interactive 3D experiences where users can manipulate or explore models dynamically.
