Abstract

In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of the Immersive Learning Environment for Visual Arts (ILEVA), which is a system that employs virtual reality technology that allows novice users to immerse into their own artworks and experience the virtual space interactively, thus providing a whole new perspective of creating and experiencing art forms to the users. This paper describes the design and architecture of ILEVA and presents a case study with a group of high school students studying in Visual Arts. The result of the work, user responses and evaluation will be discussed .
