摘要:
An avatar acting in a shared virtual space is changed in a manner nearly resembling that in a real space. A client PC, along with another client PC, is connected to a shared server through the Internet to receive data about the shared virtual space constituted by a VRML file from the shared server and displays the received data on a CRT monitor. A virtual life object (called an avatar), the alter ego of a user, is changed based on a growth parameter that changes according to occurrence of an event. A hard disk holding a growth parameter control table stores growth parameters updated by an event caused by an operation performed on own client apparatus or another client apparatus or an event caused by passing of predetermined time. The update growth parameter is also transferred to another client PC through the shared server.

A plurality of users can share a virtual life object and breed the same. A growth parameter control table is stored in a hard disk of an AO server. When a predetermined event is inputted from a client PC 1 or PC 2, a growth parameter, in the growth parameter control table, corresponding to the inputted event is updated. According to the updated growth parameter, the client PC 1 or PC 2 changes the state of the virtual life object existing in a shared virtual space.

A zinc oxide film is formed on an electroconductive substrate by electrodeposition. The electrodeposition is performed by immersing an electroconductive substrate and an electrode in an aqueous solution containing nitrate ion and zinc ion, and supplying a current passing through a gap between the electroconductive substrate and the electrode while vibrating the electroconductive substrate to stably form a uniform zinc oxide film free from anomalous growth of a crystal on the electroconductive substrate. The zinc oxide film is excellent in adhesive properties with the electroconductive substrate and suitable for a light-confining layer of a photo-electricity generating device.

A plasma CVD method adapted to a roll-to-roll process or the like wherein the change rate of the temperature of the substrate before and after an i-type semiconductor layer is deposited is made rapid so as to prevent diffusion of impurities occurring due to annealing, by constituting the apparatus structure in such a manner that the deposited film is formed on an elongated substrate by the plasma CVD method while heating the elongated substrate moving in an i-layer forming discharge chamber at a rate of 4.degree. C./second or higher immediately in front of an inlet to the discharge chamber and cooling the same at a rate of 4.degree. C./second or higher immediately at the outlet of the discharge chamber so that a stacked-layer type photovoltaic device having a large area and free from scattering of the characteristics is continuously formed without deterioration of the characteristics occurring due to dopant diffusion.
