summary

Builds a working first‑person roller coaster from ggplot/raster or path data using rayrender + rayshader + rayrollercoaster, automates track creation with two functions generate_rayshader_coaster()/animate_rollercoaster(), and renders ray‑traced frames (typically a dozen or so lines of R) into a 360° VR MP4 for YouTube. Shows examples from flight paths, submarine cables, bathymetry and diamonds, demonstrates HDR lighting, interactive camera editing, and produces a playable VR ride that actually works.
