An Entity of Type: Privately held company, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Caustic Graphics was a computer graphics and fabless semiconductor company that developed technologies to bring real-time ray-traced computer graphics to the mass market. The company name derived from an optical effect caused by the concentration of light on to a surface resulting from focusing through reflection or refraction phenomena. Caustic was founded on the premise that realistic 3D graphics would be easier to create if GPU hardware were as efficient at processing a ray as processing a vertex or fragment using existing rasterisation methods.
