CloseReturns a ray going from camera through a viewport point.
Resulting ray is in world space, starting on the near plane of the camera and going through
position's (x,y) coordinates on the viewport (position.z is ignored).
Viewport coordinates are normalized and relative to the camera. The bottom-left of the camera is (0,0); the top-right is (1,1).
