Screen Space Ambient Occlusion

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_...ient_Occlusion

Edit: Actually that wiki page doesn't explain very well. It's a form of ambient occlusion, the aim of which is to simulate the way light disperses and reflects off a surface / object / scene. With SSAO you get nice shading in the corners of walls for example.
