Akira Fujimoto
'''Akira Fujimoto''' is president of [[Integra Incorporated]] - a [[Japan]]ese [[software]] company producing visual computing systems which he founded in [[1986]]. Born in [[Poland]] as '''Wiesl&#322;aw Romanowski''', he became a Japanese citizen.

He earned BS and MS degrees in engineering from the [[University of [[Szczecin]], Poland and PhD from the [[University of Tokyo]].

Since 1981 he was with [[Grafica Computer Corporation]], leaving it in [[1986]] to form his own company.

In 1985 he developed the first commercially feasible rendering software system called ARTS (Accelerated Ray Tracing System), based on [[ray tracing]] technique. This had become possible due to his development of a method for speeding up inherently slow ray tracing by several orders of magnitude for complex real-life scenes.
