Immersidata Four Case Studies

and addresses the challenges involved in its acquisition, storage, query, and analysis. To illustrate immersidata’s importance, we report four real-world case studies in the medical and educational domains. We show that immersidata can be as revealing, if not more so, as the results obtained with other experimental monitoring and observation, data collection, and analysis techniques. Our purpose, however, isn’t to replace these techniques or the human experimenters, but to provide a complementary approach that allows for data that would normally be lost to be captured and analyzed. These four case studies represent our preliminary work to showcase immersidata’s usefulness. This collection of case studies demonstrates that a general data architecture for acquisition, query, and analysis of immersidata can be beneficial to many fields, regardless of their focused applications.
