Enabling Ambient Occlusion in Games. Ambient Occlusion is a visual effect that was originally developed by Industrial Light and Magic (ILM) and used in the 2001 film Pearl Harbor. Hardware support has been available since 2003 with NVIDIAâs GeForce FX.
In modern games, ambient occlusion may be listed in the graphics options menu as HBAO or SSAO. Both refer to ambient occlusion; HBAO (Horizon Based Ambient Occlusion) is an optimized type of SSAO (Screen Space Ambient Occlusion). If a game supports AO via a menu option set it there. Otherwise, set it in the NVIDIA Control Panel (see the appendix of this article for a full list of supported games).
