Sam "Shimi" Halperin

I'm an American computer scientist living outside of Philadelphia with a main interest in virtual reality exercise gaming. I work on movement games that make use of locomotion through virtual environments, virtual combat, and in-game holographic coaching.

As a Jewish-American Xennial, I’ve always been drawn to emerging technology—I was part of one of the first generations to grow up fully networked. After more than a decade working with B-Corps and nonprofits in Philadelphia, I now work as an independent maker focused on open-source projects.
