1. A method comprising:
performing a frustum-object intersection test for a scene, the frustum-object intersection test implementing a frustum and a bounding volume each defined by a spherical coordinate system; and
responsive to performing the frustum-object intersection test, generating a set of intersection test results representing one or more detected intersections of rays with one or more objects in the scene.
