Abstract: Various implementations for virtualization of tangible object components include a method that includes capturing a video stream a video stream of a physical activity scene, the video stream including a first tangible interface object and a second tangible interface object positioned on the physical activity scene, identifying a combined position of the first tangible interface object relative to the second tangible interface object, determining a virtual object represented by the combined position of the first tangible interface object relative to the second tangible interface object, and displaying a graphical user interface embodying a virtual scene, the virtual scene including the virtual object.

Abstract: Compositions for improving the bioavailability of methionine. In general, the compositions comprise a source of methionine and essential oil(s). More specifically, the compositions comprise a source of methionine and a plurality of coated particles comprising essential oils. Administration of said compositions improves animal health and performance, e.g., increased fermentation in ruminants or increased milk fat and/or milk protein in lactating ruminants.

Abstract: Agglomerated compositions comprising essential oils dispersed in matrix, wherein the essential oils have improved stability. Also provided are compositions comprising a source of methionine and the agglomerated essential oil compositions, and methods of using said compositions to improve animal health and performance.
