Without Ambient Occlusion scenes look flat and unrealistic, and objects appear as if they are floating. In The Division, the Ambient Occlusion option enables players to choose between five increasingly-better versions of Massive Entertainment's custom Ambient Occlusion technique, and our own HBAO+ effect. As you can see in our interactive comparisons below HBAO+ delivers a much more accurate image compared to the Ultra option, which is especially evident in our AO-only captures.
