1. A method, comprising:
determining a spatial distribution of devices in a three dimensional physical environment;
determining a polling frequency for each of the devices;
determining an optimal device count based on the polling frequency and based on a distance array of the devices indicating distances between the devices and a particular point or area in the three dimensional physical environment;
receiving data generated by one of the devices based on at least the optimal device count, and the data comprises data about a non-spatial physical attribute of the three dimensional physical environment;
evaluating the data; and
assigning a final trust score to the data, wherein the final trust score is determined by applying one or more measures to the data and each applied measure is associated with a respective incrementation amount to be applied to a previous trust score value of the data.
