XSI already had atttribute transfer gator and motor for some time. The ICE will be a nodal way of programming custom scripts and tools without having to know anything about scripting languages.

Like if you had a juggler and you wanted the balls to glow as they approached contact with his hands. You could keyframe the shader but it would be a PITA. So you grab a proximity node and a object tag node and you plug them into each other to drive and output to the shaders glow channel. Example.....if (proximity tag) is equal to or less than 10cm to the hand(object tag)then glow value equals 100% minus proximity distance in mm.
