Umbra (private company)

Umbra is on a mission to make it possible to display any 3D content in real time on any piece of hardware.

Umbra’s solutions are the backbone of a wide range of 3D applications that are used by millions of people every day.

The company's middleware optimizes 3D objects to reduce overhead when displaying them in scenes -- meaning that only what's seen by the player will be displayed, in a process known as occlusion culling. Its technology has been used in triple-A games including The Witcher III and Destiny.
