Bungies position at the PTAB is that Funkhouser describes filtering avatars in and out of the field of view and combined with Funkhouser '93 which describes level of detail with texture mapping on objects within the field of view, that those in combination cover "determining" and "filtering" of avatars within the field of view even under Phillips. Neither of those prior art references speak to a 3D avatar which was why the panel kept hammering Bungie on the definition of "avatars" as defined in the patents and construed by Judge Casper in her Markman order.
Also the clear difference between an avatar and an object. In any case even Bungie's expert admitted that Funkhouser did not describe filtering of avatars WITHIN the field of view.
The PTAB is going to have to do some creative wiggling if they want to get over that set of facts.
