Abstract: Aspects of the invention include techniques for intimacy-based masking of three dimensional (3D) face landmarks within a metaverse. A non-limiting example method includes determining a degree of intimacy R between a first user and a second user responsive to a first avatar of the first user being observed by a second avatar of the second user in a virtual environment. An initial set of M landmarks of a feature of the first avatar is determined and N landmarks are randomly selected from M for masking. The N landmarks are replaced with random noise sampled with a unit normal distribution to define a set of noised landmarks X that are then iteratively denoised to define a set of denoised landmarks D. A masked version of the first avatar is presented to the second user by modifying the feature of the first avatar with the set of denoised landmarks D.

Abstract: Embodiments of wafer bonding method and structures thereof are disclosed. The wafer bonding method can include performing a plasma activation treatment on a front surface of a first and a front surface of a second wafer; performing a silica sol treatment on the front surfaces of the first and the second wafers; performing a preliminary bonding process of the first and second wafer; and performing a heat treatment of the first and the second wafers to bond the front surface of the first wafer to the front surface of the second wafers.
