I'm [Glenn Fiedler](https://www.linkedin.com/in/glenn-fiedler-11b735302/?ref=mas-bandwidth.com) 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](https://neuroanimation.com/?ref=mas-bandwidth.com), 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!*
