Geomerics is a software company based in Cambridge, UK, that specialises in creating lighting technology for the video game industry.
The company's main product is Enlighten, software code that calculates indirect lighting ("radiosity") in real time for live action games running on systems such as the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and personal computers. The company licenses this code to games companies for incorporation into their proprietary rendering engines. The software has also recently been ported to Nvidia's CUDA platform.
The first system to incorporate the software is the Frostbite 2 engine, created by the EA DICE studio, used in Battlefield 3 (2011), and Need for Speed: The Run (2011). Enlighten has also been licensed for a variety of other titles including Eve Online.
The company was formed by Angle PLC an LSE listed company (LSE:AGL) in 2005. The project was led by Chris J. L. Doran as a spin out from Cambridge University. Since 2007 its Chief Executive has been Gary Lewis, who prior to joining the company was the Global Chief Operating Officer at Take 2 Interactive in New York.
