At Light Transport Entertainment Inc., we conduct daily research on world-class light transport computation technology and computer graphics technology. Here we introduce some of the research and development that Light Transport Entertainment Inc. is working on.

Global Illumination Algorithms

Research and development of global illumination algorithms is the primary R&D domain of Light Transport Entertainment Inc.

Light Transport Entertainment Inc. is working on developing global illumination algorithms that enable faster, more intuitive, and easier generation of computer graphics images that are physically and mathematically correct while still producing inspiring effects.

Real-time Ray Tracing

Light transport technology is increasingly needed in the world of interactive graphics found in computer games and mobile content.

More natural shadows, shapes that cannot be expressed by triangle composition alone (hair, curved surfaces, etc.), global illumination effects, and more.

At Light Transport Entertainment Inc., we are conducting research to realize new expressions in the world of interactive graphics using highly optimized software-based ray tracing technology, without relying on existing GPUs that can only render triangles.

Other Topics

We also have experience developing photorealistic simulators for autonomous driving and drone control using light transport simulation, optical simulation mainly for smartphones (including mobile aspherical lenses and wave optics), and spectroscopic measurement and simulation.
