Isola is a VR experience that takes place in a fantasy world consisted of many floating islands. Special pieces representing forgotten dreams are scattered in the space. The player has to find his lost pieces to become complete again. During the Journey, a special vehicle will be available for navigation and interaction. With the vehicle, the player can sail among the floating islands. He/she will overcome bad weather, throw a ring to attract giant fish, and at the end, combine two broken pieces collected along the way to form a full star.

End-user interaction with machine learning based systems will result in new usability challenges for the fields of human computer interaction and machine learning. With machine learning systems becoming more and more prevalent, it is important that systems are properly designed in a user-centered manner. In order to address these challenges, the most relied upon usability inspection method-the heuristic evaluation-must be adapted for the unique end-user experiences that interactive machine learning presents. This project introduces ten heuristics for interactive machine learning.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a virus that causes respiratory tract infections especially in young children. This infection increases the airway resistance and makes it harder to breathe because more pressure has to be generated in the lungs to the extent that the respiratory muscles may get so tired that the patient stops breathing. In the U.S., by the end of 2-3 years of age, nearly all of the children are going to be infected with RSV at least once. Among them, 2-3% will develop bronchiolitis and need to be hospitalized.
