is there a chance you could tell me about how you got this effect or shader going in your Proof of Concept? or maybe its name if it already has one?

The rendering method is Ray Casting, but the effect is custom and doesn't have a name that I know of.
I'm shooting a ray out from every pixel in the viewport and doing hit detection on a grid of cubes. Then depending on the coordinates hit on a cube, I map those to 2D textures (wall, ceiling, floor) to determine the color of each pixel. I also darken the color the further it is from the player to give a sense of depth.
The grainy/static effect is actually a side effect of a performance improvement. Instead of calculating every pixel every frame, I only do some pixels per frame. This leaves a bit of an afterimage if you move the camera quickly, but I like the way it turned out. :)
