and the previous raytracing demos from intel werent exactly that impressive either... what intel needs to make raytracing popular is at least one killer application that uses it, and uses it heavily in a way that really changes the gameplay, not bolted on implementations like all the physix nonsense we are seeing lately...
While adding some textures or/and little more vivid colors could do those demos more interesting for an end-user, I guess it was not an aim of Intel. More it was a technological demos for potential developers. Intel is not yet in the stage of creating TV advertisement for LRB.
