The lingering heat of summer has subsided, and the mornings and evenings are now much cooler. How are you all doing? This is Christopher's from iPresence. There are less than two weeks until the Osaka-Kansai Expo.

　As iPresence, we have been able to be involved in many initiatives. This is all thanks to the support and encouragement we have received. We would like to express our sincere gratitude. In particular, we believe that the remote hug robot "FuAra," which we released and exhibited in September, allowed many people who experienced it to experience the future possibilities of the concept of teleportation. We also had the valuable opportunity to speak at the Expo Healthcare Pavilion, and our "Anywhere Expo" event, which has held a total of 44 performances since April and has been attended by over 4000 special children, was awarded the first Expo Innovation Award in the Social category.
　This is all thanks to everyone who has always supported us, and we would like to express our sincere gratitude. We feel extremely honored that our efforts to overcome physical constraints and turn our pure desire to go to this place into reality have been recognized.

　We hope that our technology will continue to bring new possibilities to your life and work. We hope you enjoy this month's IPresence Monthly!
