I found a raytracer written in pure javascript. The performance is as bad as expected, but I'm nevertheless impressed. Follow these steps to render the first thing that came in my mind:

• Visit http://www.slimeland.com/raytrace/

• Change Resolution to 128x128 (or another square)

• Optional: Change Anti-Alias threshold to 0 for better quality

• Click "Load Workspace"

• Paste this text:

[{name:"sphere0",active:true,type:2,obj:{pos:new Vector(0,0,0),rad:0.85,inversed:false,castshadows:true}},{name:"camera0",active:true,type:0,obj:{cameratypechoice:0,simplecamera:{pos:new Vector(-2.5,-4,3),lookat:new Vector(0,0,0),sky:new Vector(0,0,1),zoomfactor:1,aspectratio:1,handedness:0}}},{name:"lightsource0",active:true,type:1,obj:{pos:new Vector(-5,-2,10),color:new Color(1,1,1)}},{name:"box0",active:true,type:3,obj:{v1:new Vector(-1,-1,-1),v2:new Vector(1,1,0),inversed:false,castshadows:true}}]

• Click OK

• Click Render

• Wait... ;)
