    "uspto_assignee": "NVIDIA Corporation",
    "patent_abstract": "Ray tracing hardware accelerators supporting motion blur and moving/deforming geometry are disclosed. For example, dynamic objects in an acceleration data structure are encoded with temporal and spatial information. The hardware includes circuitry that test ray intersections against moving/deforming geometry by applying such temporal and spatial information. Such circuitry accelerates the visibility sampling of moving geometry, including rigid body motion and object deformation, and its associated moving bounding volumes to a performance similar to that of the visibility sampling of static geometry.",

    "invention_explanation": "Hardware that stores when and where parts of an object move, allowing rays to check their paths through changing shapes more quickly and produce realistic motion blur.",
