This is a Tech demo made as part of Island Demo Scene.
Lens flare is the light scattered in lens systems through generally unwanted image formation mechanisms, such as internal reflection.
Despite the unwanted in photograph it´s a very common effect and in CG we need to add this to get more reality in scene.
It was implemented in BGE ( Blender Game Engine ) using Overlay Scenes what made it very modular. In your primary scene you will have only 2 scripts assigned to Sum object and the primary camera.
In video you can see some flicks in ON/OFF of Flares its caused by Fraps recorder, in BGE it´s work like a charm :D
