-- | Find the nearest point of intersection for a ray. If there is a hit, then
-- return the origin and normal of the new reflected ray, as well as the colour
-- and shine of the surface that was hit.
--
-- This tests all objects for each ray and just takes the minimum. To scale to
-- larger scenes, this should use a spatial decomposition technique like a
-- bounding volume hierarchy to reduce the search space.
