Geometrics, a company which specialises in lighting technology for gaming and entertainment industries, has been acquired by ARM.

"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." Enlighten, claims Geomerics, is the only working technology to provide dynamic lighting on games consoles, PCs and mobile platforms and is used in such games as Need for Speed Rivals, Medal of Honor: Warfighter, Battlefield 3 and 4, and Eve Online. Carl Almgren, Head of Development at Frostbite Game Engine, commented: "Enlighten has helped EA provide new levels of realism and gameplay experience in titles such as our highly popular Battlefield franchise. 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."
