  Immersive visualizations can reveal the dynamic form of communication and transportation infrastructures as they facilitate the simultaneous occupation of digital and physical worlds across three networked spaces : online, 3-D immersive worlds, and physical geographical space. This paper presents a project of immersive visualisation, based on some of the findings of an ongoing study: mapping the form & structure, scale & extents of the metaverse based on usage data flowing through this complex network. A diverse community of users, whose presence can be consistently accounted for in geospatial worlds, social networks and virtual worlds, will anonymously contribute, feeding a database of “gesture data”. By focusing on their divergent/convergent qualities as revealed by the data, a visualization of their sustaining infrastructure will emerge.
