Ambient occlusion is a lighting effect which darkens the corners and crevices of objects to mimic real life. I review the existing approaches to AO and go over my attempts at implementing them. Finally, I showcase the technique (called volumetric voxel ambient occlusion, or VVAO) that I invented in order to achieve coherent multi-voxel occlusion!
