Samsung's full ray tracing technology will bring realism comparable to game consoles to smartphones

In order to gain more autonomy in the technology field, Samsung Electronics is actively promoting the integration of full ray tracing algorithms into its Exynos chipset, in order to completely change the visual experience of mobile devices. According to the South Korean Daily Report, Samsung's Advanced Technology Research Institute (SAIT) is leading this breakthrough and plans to surpass the current industry standards set by NVIDIA and AMD in the field of ray tracing technology.

Like, follow, forward, thank you for your support!

The full ray tracing technology developed by Samsung Electronics SAIT aims to achieve unparalleled realism in lighting effects and reflections in images by providing more advanced methods. Ray tracing technology is renowned for its ability to simulate the interaction between light and various objects, and is expected to significantly enhance the visual functionality of smartphones, especially the popular Galaxy S series.

Samsung's ambitious plan involves the comprehensive application of ray tracing technology in video rendering. Unlike the approach currently adopted by major industry participants such as NVIDIA, Samsung's approach will widely apply ray tracing in various aspects of video to ensure a more engaging and realistic visual experience. The core of this innovation is the development of a technology called "neural supersampling", which plays a crucial role in improving low-quality images to higher resolutions. This not only improves image quality, but also optimizes overall image processing efficiency by reducing the burden of high data processing.

The advantages of neural oversampling technology have been supplemented by Samsung Electronics SAIT's disruptive "neural ray reconstruction" technology. This revolutionary technology works similarly to traditional ray tracing, filling in missing or incomplete rays on the screen. The video processed by neural ray reconstruction will be transformed into high-quality images by implementing anti aliasing technology to smooth the edge lines in the game or video. As of the current report, neural ray reconstruction technology is currently in the development stage.
However, to fully realize Samsung's vision of introducing full ray tracing, it is necessary to integrate higher-level neural network processing units (NPUs) into their smartphones. This specialized processor is optimized for executing calculations of artificial intelligence core deep learning algorithms, which is crucial for achieving the ambitious goals set by Samsung Electronics SAIT.
The roadmap for this groundbreaking innovation includes the simultaneous development of algorithms for full ray tracing and the chips required to support this technology. It is expected to be integrated into the Exynos chipset after 2025, and Samsung Electronics SAIT is fully committed to its future goals. It is hoped that mobile devices, especially the Galaxy S series, will be able to provide gaming and visual experiences comparable to high-end PCs and game consoles by then. This measure demonstrates Samsung's unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of mobile technology and setting new standards within the industry.
