NICE: The Narrative Immersive
Constructionist/Collaborative Environments project
Based in the Interactive Computing
Environments Lab (ICE) and the Electronic Visualization Lab (EVL) at the University of
Illinois at Chicago, NICE is a learning environment for young children, implemented in the
CAVE(tm) virtual reality environment. Children can collaboratively construct artifacts in
the CAVE and, in doing so, build an underlying narrative that is driven by
constructionism.
