Modeling Data of Immersive Environments

We propose a model to conceptualize various data sets pertaining to immersive environments. We argue that it is absolutely critical to understand the data generated by and for immersive environments for several purposes. The first step towards this understanding is to be able to model these data and then use the model for query and analysis of the data. Through several examples from current prototypic immersive applications we demonstrate the usefulness, effectiveness and generality of our proposed model.
