Although there have been many recent papers on “real-time” global illumination, this technique is the only one so far that is at all feasible for current-generation consoles.  Crytek’s new CryEngine 3 has implementations of it on XBox 360 and Playstation 3, and the technique will presumably be used in the upcoming Crysis 2 game as well.
