摘要:
Embodiments of the invention generally provide methods and apparatuses for electroprocessing a substrate. In one embodiment, an apparatus for electrochemically processing the substrate includes a conductive processing surface adapted for processing a substrate thereon, and a polishing head for retaining the substrate against the processing surface. At least one drive mechanism provides relative motion between the conductive processing surface and the substrate. A first electrode is disposed below the conductive processing surface and is comprised of a first material. A second electrode is disposed radially inward of the first electrode and comprised of a second material.

A system and a method for executing a virtual conference that conveys gaze information are presented. Where there are three nodes, input from the first node indicating a gaze recipient of a first participant is received, the gaze recipient being associated with one of the second and third nodes. A virtual space is constructed in which representations of the first participant, a second participant who is associated with the second node, and a third participant who is associated with the third node are positioned in a predetermined order. The gaze angle of the first participant in the virtual space is determined based on the position of the representation of the first participant's gaze recipient in the virtual space. An image that includes the first participant looking at his gaze recipient in the virtual space, as seen from the position of the second participant in the virtual space, is generated.
摘要:
A method of executing a virtual conference among a plurality of nodes including a first node, wherein there is a display device associated with the first node that is configured to display a virtual conference window containing images of participants at other nodes of the plurality of nodes, is presented. The method entails activating the virtual conference window in response to receiving a selection in the virtual conference window, wherein the activating of the virtual conference window triggers a process of identifying one of the nodes as an attention recipient and displaying the attention recipient's image differently than images of other nodes. Where private chat function is available, attention recipient may be identified based on who the participant at the first node is chatting with. Images may be augmented to add an illusion of space and distance.
摘要:
A virtual conference system that allows private sessions to happen simultaneously as and within the public conference is presented. The system allows a participant to join a public conference, wherein a degraded version of the participant's image and no sound from the participant will be available to other conference participants of the public conference. The participant may, while being in the public conference, engage in a private session with a subgroup of the conference participants. The participant's image and sounds from the participant will be available to the subgroup in the private session in normal quality at the same time that the degraded version of the participant's image is made available to conference participants who are in the public conference but not the private session.
摘要:
A system and a method for executing a virtual conference are presented. The method includes providing, to each participant, images of the plurality of nodes, receiving an active node selection input from a first participant of the plurality of participants, the active node selection input indicating which of the plurality of nodes the first participant selects as an active node for communication, and modifying an image quality of the active node provided to the first participant, so that the active node has a first image quality that is different from a second image quality that is assigned to other nodes, wherein image quality includes parameters that affect the perceived clarity of an image. Also provided is a system and method for obtaining the image of a participant from a desired angle by guiding the participant's gaze to a selected region of the screen relative to a camera.
