+# Kea
+
+Kea is a simplified Vulkan wrapper, and a ray tracing renderer. These parts are
+being developed in tandem.
+
+This is a hobby project in early development.
+
+## kea-gpu
+
+Wraps Vulkan with an easier to use interface. This currently only exposes the
+features that kea-renderer needs, but I plan for it to be generic enough to be
+useful in other projects.
+
+Uses [Ash](https://github.com/ash-rs/ash) for Vulkan bindings.
+
+Uses [rust-gpu](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu) to compile Rust code
+to SPIR-V shaders.
+
+## kea-renderer
+
+A hardware accelerated path tracer. Requires a graphics card that supports the
+Vulkan ray tracing extensions.
+
+This is a naive implementation and very slow.
