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.
