Realtime Path Tracing using webGL in your browser (tested in Chrome). You can move the objects and the light inside the scene, change the material (diffuse, mirror, glossy) and load some test scenes.
it can slow down your computer to a crawl, so make sure you save your work first

What's path tracing, how is it different from ray tracing?

It's a generalization of ray tracing and does therefore cost much greater computation requirements. Traditionally path tracing is used as a reference, when testing the quality of another rendering algorithm. Lately GPU rendering is bringing path tracing to a more usable form as it does fit well in offered parallelization.

I know this is not accurate, but it reflects how I feel:
Raytracing = cool.
Path Tracing = cooler.
Path Tracing + MLT sampling = Uber cool.Thanks, Octavian!
