A computational model for motion planning is introduced in which figures on the plane may be moved along a ray emanating from a fixed light source. The resulting obstructions give rise to ordered sets; it shown that these are precisely the truncated spherical orders. Moreover, it is proved that such ordered sets can be recognized in linear time.
