	Gaming for Fitness Approximately one in two adults in industrialized countries are physically inactive. This lifestyle contributes to dramatically increasing rates of obesity.
	Affective Computing Evaluation of a user's emotional experience with technology is not well understood, especially when the primary goal of a technology is to entertain (e.g., computer game) or to invoke an emotional experience (e.g., animated film).
	Granular Synthesis Summary Granular synthesis is a library that allows dynamic real time sampling of multiple sound sources within a sound space based on customized input directives.
