Nerve Garden: A Virtual Terrarium in Cyberspace

Nerve Garden is a biologically-inspired multi-user collaborative generative 3D virtual world available to a general Interact audience. The goal of the Nerve Garden project is to create a virtual terrarium that exhibits properties of growth, decay and energy transfer reminiscent of a simple ecosystem. The resulting exploration of Artificial Life principles in a shared virtual world yields valuable user and architectural insights for the construction of future cyberspaces.
