- Congratulations on Your Graduation & Welcome to School!
Congratulations on your graduation and congratulations on your admission.
It's that time of year at KMD, which offers fall enrollment.
I participated in this year’s orientation for new students as OriHime again. The new students all started taking photos with their smartphones at once.
The other day, OriHime-D handed out pamphlets at the “The World in Our Minds” event.
Standing in front of the OriHime-D, with little kids waving at it, I just stood there with my mouth hanging open. It took me a few minutes before I could wave back… ^^;
OriHime acts as a staff member, and guests use OriHime to tour the venue.
I talked with Orii-san about how I hoped that, from now on, that would become a “normal” sight.
KMD still has a long way to go when it comes to being photographed (*^^*)
We need to increase the percentage of robots and avatars within KMD!
Welcome to KMD!
