ARM® expands its position at the forefront of the graphics
industry with acquisition of leader in lighting technology,
Geomerics®
ARM today acquired Geomerics, the leader in lighting technology
for the gaming and entertainment industries. The acquisition
expands ARM’s position at the forefront of the visual computing and
graphics industries. Additionally, the agreement enables Geomerics
to build on their existing partnerships as well as accelerate their
development in mobile.
“The innovative technologies being developed by Geomerics are
already revolutionizing the console gaming experience and are set
to rapidly accelerate the transition to photo realistic graphics in
mobile,” said Pete Hutton, EVP and GM Media Processing Division,
ARM. “Empowering Geomerics’ portfolio with ARM’s graphics
capabilities and market reach will be transformative for the user
experiences in future mobile and entertainment devices.”
Geomerics’ Enlighten is the worlds’ first fully real-time global
illumination technology. With a focus on time-saving workflow
features and a lightweight runtime, Enlighten is the only solution
proven to deliver fully dynamic lighting on todays’ PCs, game
consoles and mobile platforms. The technology has been the lighting
solution of choice for some of today’s most advanced and
best-selling game titles, including Battlefield 3 and 4, Need for
Speed Rivals, Eve Online, and Medal of Honor: Warfighter.
“With lighting technologies developed by Geomerics, graphics
artists can achieve truly realistic global illumination and other
advanced lighting features in real time across multiple platforms
today. This combination of ARM and Geomerics accelerates the
realization of our vision to bring next generation console graphics
to mobile devices,” said Dr. Chris Doran, COO, Geomerics. “Being
part of ARM will allow us to accelerate our advanced developments
for console and mobile platforms while also providing us with
unmatched insights into the platforms and devices of tomorrow.”
Global illumination is a term used to describe advanced,
photorealistic lighting effects in 3D graphics. Typical graphics
applications today are limited to simple, direct lighting effects
only. With global illumination, effects such as compound
reflections, refractions, shadows and other advanced effects are
enabled, providing more life-like graphics quality.
“Enlighten has helped EA provide new levels of realism and
gameplay experience in titles such as our highly popular
Battlefield franchise,” said Carl Almgren, Head of Development,
Frostbite Game Engine. “We’re delighted that ARM is committed to
on-going development on all the key game console platforms and
graphics architectures, as well as the on-going development of
Geomerics’ technologies.”
The terms of the deal have not been disclosed.
