Greetings from Everywhere

Greetings from Everywhere
Needs a room

Meet six people, and greet each one a completely different way.

Everyone moves around greeting each other, and the screen keeps changing how: a handshake, then a bow, then a wave from across the room, then one they pick from four β€” the elbow salute, the double nod. It gets a room of strangers touching base with a dozen people in three minutes.
