    1. ball’s position in a three-dimensional space

      ball's position = a data sample

      three-dimensional space = the feature space, with 3 x 2 features (because each camera records in 2D). Time dimension not recorded since it is, actually, the index of a data sample.

      Some of these features (dimensions) are not necessary (they are redundant).
