`
`·7· · · · · · · · · · · · · ·EXAMINATION
`
`·8· ·BY MR. GLUCOFT:
`
`·9· · · ·Q.· · Good morning, Mr. Vazquez.· How are you doing
`
`10· ·today?
`
`11· · · ·A.· · Good morning.
`
`12· · · ·Q.· · Can you please state your name and home address
`
`13· ·for the record?
`
`14· · · ·A.· · Carlos Vazquez.· 21 Polaire, Gatineau, Canada,
`
`15· ·Quebec.
`
`16· · · ·Q.· · Mr. Vazquez, you are represented by counsel today;
`
`17· ·is that correct?
`
`18· · · ·A.· · Yes.
`
`19· · · ·Q.· · Can you please identify your attorneys?
`
`20· · · ·A.· · Mr. Salen.
`
`21· · · ·Q.· · Mr. Vazquez, do you understand that you've just
`
`22· ·taken an oath to tell the truth?
`
`23· · · ·A.· · Yes.
`
`24· · · ·Q.· · Do you understand that this oath is of the same
`
`25· ·force and effect as if given in a court of law before a
`
`
`
`Prime Focus Ex 1040-5
`
`Prime Focus v Legend3D
`IPR2016-01243
`
`
`
`·1· ·judge and a jury?
`
`·2· · · ·A.· · Yes.
`
`·3· · · ·Q.· · Do you understand that you are under oath even
`
`·4· ·when we take a break?
`
`·5· · · ·A.· · Yes.
`
`·6· · · ·Q.· · Do you understand that when you are under oath,
`
`·7· ·you are not to discuss this case while on break, including
`
`·8· ·with your counsel?
`
`·9· · · ·A.· · Yes.
`
`10· · · ·Q.· · Do you understand that when you are under oath,
`
`11· ·your counsel cannot interpret the questions or help you
`
`12· ·answer questions?
`
`13· · · ·A.· · Yes.
`
`14· · · ·Q.· · Do you understand that unless your counsel
`
`15· ·instructs you not to answer a question, in order to preserve
`
`16· ·privilege, you must answer the question?
`
`17· · · ·A.· · Yes.
`
`18· · · ·Q.· · Is there anything preventing you from giving full
`
`19· ·and accurate answers today?
`
`20· · · ·A.· · No.
`
`21· · · ·Q.· · Is there any reason you cannot give me your best
`
`22· ·testimony today?
`
`23· · · ·A.· · No.
`
`24· · · ·Q.· · Did you do anything to prepare for this
`
`25· ·deposition?
`
`
`
`Prime Focus Ex 1040-6
`
`Prime Focus v Legend3D
`IPR2016-01243
`
`
`
`·1· · · ·A.· · Yes.
`
`·2· · · ·Q.· · And what did you do?
`
`·3· · · ·A.· · I read the documents that were related to the
`
`·4· ·declaration.
`
`·5· · · ·Q.· · Which documents are related to the declaration?
`
`·6· · · ·A.· · Well, there are many documents that are stated in
`
`·7· ·the declaration.· Some examples are the Patent, '793, '081,
`
`·8· ·and the declaration itself.
`
`·9· · · ·Q.· · Did you review any documents not cited in your
`
`10· ·declaration?
`
`11· · · ·A.· · No.
`
`12· · · ·Q.· · Did you bring any documents with you to this
`
`13· ·deposition?
`
`14· · · ·A.· · No.
`
`15· · · ·Q.· · I'd like to introduce Exhibit 2024.
`
`16· · · · · · ·Mr. Vazquez, do you recognize this document marked
`
`17· ·as Exhibit 2024 as the declaration that you submitted in
`
`18· ·this proceeding?
`
`19· · · ·A.· · Yes.
`
`20· · · ·Q.· · Is this declaration your complete opinion?
`
`21· · · ·A.· · Yes.
`
`22· · · ·Q.· · What documents is your declaration based on?
`
`23· · · ·A.· · What do you mean "based on"?· This document is my
`
`24· ·opinion with respect to the case.· There's not just one
`
`25· ·document that the declaration is based on; there are many
`
`
`
`Prime Focus Ex 1040-7
`
`Prime Focus v Legend3D
`IPR2016-01243
`
`
`
`·1· ·documents that are referenced here.
`
`·2· · · ·Q.· · But you only based your declaration on one
`
`·3· ·document; is that what you said?
`
`·4· · · ·A.· · No.· Section 3 says "basis for opinion, materials
`
`·5· ·reviewed."· There are many documents that are mentioned in
`
`·6· ·there.· I form an opinion, and then my opinion is reflected
`
`·7· ·in the declaration.· It's not one document that is the basis
`
`·8· ·for everything here.
`
`·9· · · ·Q.· · Okay.· And have you listed all of the relevant
`
`10· ·sources of information that may be material to the opinions
`
`11· ·in your declaration?
`
`12· · · ·A.· · It's very difficult to make a statement that --
`
`13· ·how do you say it?· "All" is a very broad statement.· So I
`
`14· ·could say I listed here everything that I considered at the
`
`15· ·point of building the declaration as being important.· It is
`
`16· ·perfectly possible that I saw something at some point, that
`
`17· ·I saw a document or read a document that covered at some
`
`18· ·point to form an opinion in a given thing.· That is not
`
`19· ·there.· So, for the best of my knowledge, everything that I
`
`20· ·considered important is in here.
`
`21· · · ·Q.· · Thank you.
`
`22· · · · · · ·Mr. Vazquez, could you please turn to paragraph 9
`
`23· ·of your declaration?· In paragraph 9, you state that you
`
`24· ·have, quote, "20-plus years of industry experience."
`
`25· · · · · · ·Do you see that?
`
`
`
`Prime Focus Ex 1040-8
`
`Prime Focus v Legend3D
`IPR2016-01243
`
`
`
`·1· · · ·A.· · Yeah.
`
`·2· · · ·Q.· · Does that industry experience include time spent
`
`·3· ·as an assistant professor at the Higher Polytechnic
`
`·4· ·Institute Jose Antonio Echeverria?
`
`·5· · · ·A.· · Yeah.· When I talk about industry, I mean pretty
`
`·6· ·much everything.· I include the time.· Yeah, all my time, my
`
`·7· ·work time.· I am not making a distinction here between
`
`·8· ·working in academia and working outside academia.
`
`·9· · · ·Q.· · So this includes time in which you were a Ph.D.
`
`10· ·candidate?
`
`11· · · ·A.· · Yes.
`
`12· · · ·Q.· · And this industry experience includes time spent
`
`13· ·as a research assistant at the University of Quebec between
`
`14· ·1998 and 2004?· That would fall within the 20 years of
`
`15· ·industry experience, correct?
`
`16· · · ·A.· · Yes.
`
`17· · · ·Q.· · And you were a Ph.D. candidate at that time,
`
`18· ·correct?
`
`19· · · ·A.· · Yes.
`
`20· · · ·Q.· · So you understand your time as a Ph.D. candidate,
`
`21· ·researching in a university setting, qualifies industry
`
`22· ·experience; is that correct?
`
`23· · · ·A.· · Yes.
`
`24· · · ·Q.· · Thank you.
`
`25· · · · · · ·Mr. Vazquez, let's turn please to paragraph 30 of
`
`
`
`Prime Focus Ex 1040-9
`
`Prime Focus v Legend3D
`IPR2016-01243
`
`
`
`·1· ·your declaration.· I'm specifically looking now at this
`
`·2· ·picture in paragraph 30 with the shaded circles, which has a
`
`·3· ·caption starting, "Figure 1, these computer generated
`
`·4· ·displays."
`
`·5· · · · · · ·Do you see the picture that I'm looking at?
`
`·6· · · ·A.· · Figure 1 in page 15?
`
`·7· · · ·Q.· · On page 15, yes, that's correct.
`
`·8· · · ·A.· · Yes.
`
`·9· · · ·Q.· · Mr. Vazquez, do the circles in this image appear
`
`10· ·to be popping out of the page or indented into the page?
`
`11· · · ·A.· · Well, this is a perception issue, perception base
`
`12· ·issue.· So, for -- it depends on the -- it depends on the
`
`13· ·viewer, basically.· It could be in one direction for me;
`
`14· ·could be in a different direction for a different person.
`
`15· · · ·Q.· · So these circles can be perceived to be either
`
`16· ·popping out of the page or indented into the page; is that
`
`17· ·correct?
`
`18· · · ·A.· · In certain circumstances, yes, it could be going
`
`19· ·out of the page or going in the page.· It depends on how the
`
`20· ·viewer assumes the illumination is located.
`
`21· · · ·Q.· · Is that what the caption means when it says, "The
`
`22· ·sign of perceived depth is ambiguous"?
`
`23· · · · · · ·MR. SALEN:· I object to form.· Foundation.
`
`24· · · · · · ·THE WITNESS:· I think that the caption is
`
`25· ·basically conveying the message that it's subjective.· It's
`
`
`
`Prime Focus Ex 1040-10
`
`Prime Focus v Legend3D
`IPR2016-01243
`
`
`
`·1· ·a subjective result.· It depends on the viewer.· But the
`
`·2· ·message is that all the -- all the circles tend to be in the
`
`·3· ·same -- obtain the same kind of perception in depth.
`
`·4· ·BY MR. GLUCOFT:
`
`·5· · · ·Q.· · Can a viewer perceive the circles to be both
`
`·6· ·popping out of the page and indented into the page?
`
`·7· · · ·A.· · That's, like, a speculation question.· It would be
`
`·8· ·very hard to answer that question.· I think it could be
`
`·9· ·difficult for a single viewer to see the circles at the same
`
`10· ·time popping in and out, but I cannot exclude it.
`
`11· · · ·Q.· · Mr. Vazquez, would a person of ordinary skill in
`
`12· ·the art viewing this figure perceive the circles to be
`
`13· ·popping out of the page or indented into the page?
`
`14· · · ·A.· · That is very difficult.· I just said that the
`
`15· ·perception of depth is subjective.· It depends on the
`
`16· ·assumption of the place of the illumination.· In that case,
`
`17· ·a person of ordinary skills in the art could see the circles
`
`18· ·in one direction or the other.· I have the impression -- I
`
`19· ·cannot be completely sure of that -- that this is some kind
`
`20· ·of preferences in which the illumination is coming.· So it
`
`21· ·could be that more people see it popping out.· I'm not going
`
`22· ·to be completely sure on that.
`
`23· · · ·Q.· · Is there any objective way to tell whether a
`
`24· ·person of ordinary skill in the art would perceive these
`
`25· ·circles to be popping out of the page or indented into the
`
`
`
`Prime Focus Ex 1040-11
`
`Prime Focus v Legend3D
`IPR2016-01243
`
`
`
`·1· ·page?
`
`·2· · · · · · ·MR. SALEN:· Objection to form.
`
`·3· · · · · · ·THE WITNESS:· Are you referring to just this
`
`·4· ·picture?
`
`·5· ·BY MR. GLUCOFT:
`
`·6· · · ·Q.· · Yes.
`
`·7· · · ·A.· · Only this picture, without any context?
`
`·8· · · ·Q.· · Yes.
`
`·9· · · ·A.· · Without anything else?
`
`10· · · ·Q.· · Yes.
`
`11· · · ·A.· · I think it would be very, very difficult to
`
`12· ·objectively say, in this particular case, for this
`
`13· ·particular picture, in these particular conditions in which
`
`14· ·we are, if people will -- if the circles are popping out or
`
`15· ·popping in.
`
`16· · · ·Q.· · So I understand it may be very, very difficult to
`
`17· ·objectively say.· Is it even theoretically possible to
`
`18· ·objectively determine whether a person of ordinary skill in
`
`19· ·the art would perceive these circles, without further
`
`20· ·context, to be popping out of the page or indented into the
`
`21· ·page?
`
`22· · · · · · ·MR. SALEN:· Objection to form.· Foundation.
`
`23· · · · · · ·THE WITNESS:· As I said, the perception of depth
`
`24· ·has a very large component of being subjective.· And so in
`
`25· ·this particular case, without any context around, in these
`
`
`
`Prime Focus Ex 1040-12
`
`Prime Focus v Legend3D
`IPR2016-01243
`
`
`
`·1· ·particular illumination conditions, I think this could be
`
`·2· ·very difficult to objectively say how a person would
`
`·3· ·perceive the depth in this image.
`
`·4· ·BY MR. GLUCOFT:
`
`·5· · · ·Q.· · Mr. Vazquez, you said just a moment ago, quote,
`
`·6· ·"The perception of depth has a very large component of being
`
`·7· ·subjective," end quote.
`
`·8· · · · · · ·Does the perception of depth have any component of
`
`·9· ·being objective?
`
`10· · · · · · ·MR. SALEN:· Objection to form.
`
`11· · · · · · ·THE WITNESS:· What do you mean by "objective" in
`
`12· ·this case?
`
`13· ·BY MR. GLUCOFT:
`
`14· · · ·Q.· · Objective, meaning measurable by a third party.
`
`15· · · · · · ·MR. SALEN:· Same objection.
`
`16· · · · · · ·THE WITNESS:· The perception of depth is something
`
`17· ·that is how a person interprets the depth of a given scene.
`
`18· · · · · · ·So the question, if it is possible for third party
`
`19· ·to measure how a person perceives the depth; is that the
`
`20· ·question?
`
`21· ·BY MR. GLUCOFT:
`
`22· · · ·Q.· · Yes.
`
`23· · · ·A.· · I think there could be experiments in which you
`
`24· ·can isolate a particular part of the depth perception of an
`
`25· ·individual.· So, in that case, which is very, very specific,
`
`
`
`Prime Focus Ex 1040-13
`
`Prime Focus v Legend3D
`IPR2016-01243
`
`
`
`·1· ·it is probably possible for a third party to identify how a
`
`·2· ·person perceives one particular aspect of the depth of a
`
`·3· ·given scene.
`
`·4· · · ·Q.· · Can you please describe the experimental setup?
`
`·5· · · · · · ·MR. SALEN:· Objection to form.· Foundation.
`
`·6· · · · · · ·THE WITNESS:· I don't think I can describe an
`
`·7· ·experimental setup for that.· I could probably mention one
`
`·8· ·example that comes to my mind right now, which is the Bela
`
`·9· ·Julesz example, experiments in which he work it to identify
`
`10· ·the binocular disparity, in which uses the random
`
`11· ·stereograms to basically prove that there was perception of
`
`12· ·depth based on binocular disparity.
`
`13· ·BY MR. GLUCOFT:
`
`14· · · ·Q.· · And if you ran that experiment that you just
`
`15· ·described, would you be able to tell me whether a person of
`
`16· ·ordinary skill in the art would perceive these circles to be
`
`17· ·popping out of the page or indented into the page?
`
`18· · · · · · ·MR. SALEN:· Objection to form.· Foundation.
`
`19· · · · · · ·THE WITNESS:· I said that experiment was just an
`
`20· ·example, one particular aspect of the depth perception that
`
`21· ·is related to binocular disparity.· I didn't make any
`
`22· ·connection to this image.
`
`23· ·BY MR. GLUCOFT:
`
`24· · · ·Q.· · Okay.· Well, then let's, for the following few
`
`25· ·questions, let's stay specific to this image, Mr. Vazquez.
`
`
`
`Prime Focus Ex 1040-14
`
`Prime Focus v Legend3D
`IPR2016-01243
`
`
`
`·1· · · · · · ·Mr. Vazquez, what do you believe I perceive these
`
`·2· ·circles to be doing, popping out of the page or indented
`
`·3· ·into the page?
`
`·4· · · · · · ·MR. SALEN:· Objection to form.· Foundation.
`
`·5· · · · · · ·THE WITNESS:· Well, I don't think I can answer
`
`·6· ·that question.· It has to be you answer that question.
`
`·7· ·BY MR. GLUCOFT:
`
`·8· · · ·Q.· · So it's an entirely subjective question?
`
`·9· · · · · · ·MR. SALEN:· Objection to form.· Foundation.
`
`10· · · · · · ·THE WITNESS:· I think that the perception of depth
`
`11· ·in this particular picture, in this particular context, in
`
`12· ·these particular environmental conditions, depends on you.
`
`13· ·I cannot say how you perceive depth in that particular
`
`14· ·picture in here today.
`
`15· ·BY MR. GLUCOFT:
`
`16· · · ·Q.· · Does that mean it's entirely subjective?
`
`17· · · · · · ·MR. SALEN:· Objection to form.· Foundation.
`
`18· · · · · · ·THE WITNESS:· That doesn't mean it's -- I don't
`
`19· ·know.· That doesn't mean it's entirely subjective.· I cannot
`
`20· ·rule out the possibility of probably building an experiment
`
`21· ·that would be -- that would allow me to know or to identify
`
`22· ·how do you perceive that.· Probably the safest way is just
`
`23· ·to ask you, how do you perceive it?
`
`24· ·BY MR. GLUCOFT:
`
`25· · · ·Q.· · A person of ordinary skill in the art cannot
`
`
`
`Prime Focus Ex 1040-15
`
`Prime Focus v Legend3D
`IPR2016-01243
`
`
`
`·1· ·perceive these circles to be both popping out of the page
`
`·2· ·and indented into the page; is that correct?
`
`·3· · · ·A.· · I just said before that I cannot be sure of that.
`
`·4· ·I think it's not probable; that it's probably more probable
`
