Back in a few months, I'm networking an octopus

I'm Glenn Fiedler and welcome to Más Bandwidth, my new blog at the intersection of game network programming and scalable backend engineering.

It's not often that something this worthy comes along...

NeuroAnimation, a company that develops virtual life forms for stroke recovery and rehabilitation, reached out and asked if I could help network their virtual creatures.

It's just so easy to see the win here. A therapist can now be inside the virtual reality simulation with the child they are helping recover from a stroke or other traumatic brain injury. A parent can now be with their non-verbal child and communicate with them inside the simulation. Children undergoing therapy can now play together.

I'm incredibly excited to be helping NeuroAnimation with this worthy cause.

See you all in a few months!
