Shachar Liberman

Shachar Liberman is an independent developer focused on repurposing consumer gaming hardware for practical desktop utilities, with a current catalog centered on the Wii Balance Board. The studio’s flagship utility, WiiBalanceWalker, turns the Bluetooth-enabled Nintendo accessory into a PC peripheral capable of acting both as a precise weighing scale and as an XInput-compatible virtual joystick, making it attractive for fitness-tracking experiments, balance-training games, accessibility prototypes, and quirky controller mods. By exposing raw sensor data to the Windows HID layer, the software lets physiotherapists log weight-shift metrics, hobbyists build head-to-foot VR locomotion rigs, and streamers add novelty foot-control to flight or racing simulators without custom drivers. Lightweight, open-source wrappers and calibration wizards simplify pairing, while real-time graphs and CSV export integrate with spreadsheets and Unity/Unreal projects. Although the portfolio is presently a single-title niche, the publisher’s emphasis on low-latency bridge code and transparent device access points toward future utilities that recycle other dormant console peripherals. Shachar Liberman’s software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always installing the latest version and supporting batch installation alongside other applications.
