I made this in about a half hour after reading a post on the forum with a non realtime version. I've of course been thinking about this for a long time but never did it. Works pretty well considering the circumstances.

the guy who did the non real time one saw what you did in 30 minutes and gave up programming. He is now selling hot dogs under a bridge
I think it's pretty cool the performance one receives at super low resolutions. Could this be used to generate accurate environment reflections on something with a blurred reflection, such as brushed metal (or just a surface some dim ambient reflection)?
I can imagine blurring the resultant reflection (such as on the mirror sphere in the background) for a realtime, accurate yet approximate (being blurred) result. But I'm not much of a programmer. As an artist, I think that could be cool.
Short answer: yeah, but it would be even more abysmally slow :D
