On April 2025, 4, the Chunichi Shimbun Web published an article about an initiative introduced at Tenryu Special Needs School in Tenryu Ward, Hamamatsu City, which allows new students to have a simulated experience of the school environment.

iPresence Co., Ltd.'s product "Avatar Twin" is used for this initiative, and records high-definition images of classrooms, hallways, and schoolyards in the school building, allowing students to virtually explore the school by moving their viewpoint freely. Teacher avatars also appear on the screen, and students can experience the cultural festival exhibits and even the bookshelves in the library in a realistic way.

Children who are hospitalized at the neighboring National Hospital Organization Tenryu Hospital attend the elementary and junior high school sections of the school, and teachers sometimes visit the hospital wards to give classes.Avatar Twin" is expected to be achieved.
