E-XR: Explorable Extended Reality Environments
In this chapter we discuss the main problems with the creation of XR environments and modeling XR behavior. These include limited possibilities of using domain terminology in XR development, focus on technical steps rather than domain-specific goals as we

Preface
Extended reality (XR) is a term coined based on virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). While VR is a view of a world consisting only of virtual objects, which may be interactive, AR is a view of the real world with superimposed virtual objects. XR covers different forms of combined real and virtual environments, which range between these two complementary technologies in the virtuality-reality continuum (J. P. Gownder, C. Voce, M. Mai, D. Lynch 2016). Real and virtual objects in XR environments may also have combined properties, which can be borrowed from real objects, inspired yet different from real, or entirely virtual. Elements that are inherent to virtually every XR environment are users and interactive three-dimensional (3D) content. XR users and 3D content objects typically have behavior, which encompasses autonomous actions and interactions of users and objects. Users’ and objects’ behavior influences the XR environment, including creation, modification, and destruction of objects in 3D scenes. Modeling and tracking users’
