SoftBank Focuses On The Layout Of The Metaverse With AOS To Create A Brand-New Future

Published

on

Recently, Softbank Ventures Asia publicly announced that it has begun to focus on Metaverse and invested in the AOS project. It will cooperate with AOS to connect and integrate more Metaverses in AI, NFT, robotics, and other fields, and carry the development of large-scale killer applications.

The enthusiastic investment in Metaverse has not subsided, but it has risen again. The technology giants have all entered the Metaverse. Facebook plans to fully transform into Metaverse before 2025, and will set up a product team to accelerate investment in VR/AR and the creator community; Bytedance, which has always believed in Striving for Miracles, merged Mutong Technology for 4 billion USD, and begin to lay out the Metaverse; Axie Infinity builds NFT games based on the Metaverse, subverting the traditional game mode and becoming a phenomenon-level game product; miHOYO, the developer of “Genshin Impact”, formed an AI scientist inverse entropy team, and self-developed Avatar Luming to explore the brain-computer interface. Through investment, miHOYO has successfully deployed the social Metaverse Soul; the Internet industry is renewing and iterating rapidly, and companies need to attach importance to meet unknown concepts and challenges or be left behind by the times.

In the Metaverse era, everything has virtual avatars. The concept of Metaverse seems to be still in the mist today, but the prelude to the new era has been opened, and it is closer than you think.

The popularization of the term Metaverse was cited from the novel Avalanche by American science fiction writer Neil Stephenson in 1992. In his book, he used the word Metaverse for the first time without foundation and described it as a parallel universe projected from the real world through technical means such as the Internet. However, anyone who has watched the movie “Ready Player One” by the great director Steven Spielberg should probably understand this concept. Like the “Oasis” in the movie, the company has created a realistic virtual world outside of the real world. Every player in the real world has another identity in the virtual world, establishes another social circle, and leads another life. Although the Metaverse is only a virtual world, its immersion is so vivid that you will think it is the real world and enjoy life in this new world.

AOS (Artificial Intelligence Operating System) is the first operating system developed by Canada Unicorn Park, based on the underlying blockchain technology to connect the Metaverse. By building a Metaverse bridge online, and using robots as an intelligent carrier offline to build an ecosystem between Metaverses and provide a new experience for integration with Metaverse and the real world.

Based on AOS, users could create an AI NFT that has autonomous consciousness and advanced self-learning capability; And it also gets influenced by the distributed personality database on the chain to build character, and gradually complete neural network-style self-learning and improvements. Most of all, the distributed character database is based on the “Book of Changes” and appropriately constructs the character of AI; users can inject their favorite characters, personalities, voices, etc., into their own AI NFT, and tame it to learn more skills. AOS encourages users to integrate more characters and personalities, combined with NFT to create different artistic values. The custom AI itself has NFT attributes. Users can customize the appearance of AI on the network, and can also authorize access to a third-party character customization system, such as specific character images and voices, and third-party NFT star voices and appearances, packaged in the form of NFT used for trading and collection.

AOS connects the first-generation physical carrier, the AI four-wheel driving robot Mars_1 with the Metaverse and the real world, creating a new user experience.

Mars_1 is a highly integrated artificial intelligence robot product. Its appearance is in the form of a four-legged driving robot dog. It adopts an original five-layer motion control technology and several technical indicators are in a leading position in the global industry. Mars_1 has integrated the Internet of Things, 5G, virtual reality/augmented reality, intelligent driving, swarm intelligence, and other technologies. Mars_1 will obey commands and gradually be closer to a dog and then become to a good assistant to humankind.

On the road to the Metaverse, AOS always hopes to leave a strong and colorful stroke in its own way. Connect the Metaverse through AI and map out the experience and lifestyle of the future. For the world that people dream of, high-intelligence AI coupled with linkage with robots will be an indispensable component of this era. As the aboriginal and basic units of the Metaverse, these virtual species based on AOS will continue to establish connections with us beyond human beings in the infinite space and time of the future, transcending the fetters of races.

Sun Zhengyi believes: “We are about to experience the biggest change in human history. AI will eventually replace human beings. This is not only reflected in knowledge but also in intelligence. This change will happen in this century, and then in the next 30 years, there is no doubt that our focus is on AI, intelligent robots, and the IOTs.” Based on this analysis and judgment, SoftBank has frequently carried out large-scale layouts in the fields of AI, intelligent robots, and  IOTs. Start from all aspects to create a powerful robot empire. Today, SoftBank’s industries have completed the layout of the future of the new Internet field as Sun Zhengyi said in the past, and completed more than half of the investment of unicorn companies on a global scale, laying a foundation for the subsequent development of the IOTs in the world.

As a world-renowned “Animation Kingdom”, Japan has an irreplaceable influence in the global animation field. After half a century of development, the Japanese animation industry has formed an extremely large system, making Japan the world’s largest animation production and exporting country, and it also around animation IP to derive cultural and creative products, such as GK. With the development of smart technology, they also work hard in the direction of intelligence for GK. Headquartered in Japan, SoftBank has a unique geographical location and is deeply immersed in Japanese IP culture. This collaboration with AOS will further promote the combination of the GK industry and the AI​industry, and provide AOS with a steady stream of IP resources. Users’ favorite characters such as Luffy, Conan, Sailor Moon, Sakuragi Hanamichi, Inuyasha, etc., can inject their image and personality into AI to create your smart figure. Each AI figure is a unique individual, and different parameters also create different expressions and styles. At the same time, when users have more exchanges with AI, they will gradually become familiar with the user’s temper and preferences and adjust their apparent personality in real-time and dynamically making it infinitely close to the form that we want to see eventually.

The product made by a single company is not enough to be called a Metaverse but constitutes an ecological system. With the deep participation of users, if it is successful in collective efforts to build a more interoperable system, and it can be transformed into different layers, then it should be called a Metaverse. AOS is committed to becoming the link between the physical world and the virtual world, as a bridge between various Metaverses to connect the Metaverse and continue to build a new Metaverse ecology. This will be the top priority in the next stage of the development of the Internet after the mobile Internet.

What kind of world will mankind be in the future? SoftBank Asia and AOS have worked together because of the same concept for Metaverse and jointly created such a grand concept, standing at the forefront of the Metaverse economic tide, seizing opportunities, embracing the new future, and believing that with their win-win cooperation, they will give a perfect answer for the world.

Conservation Travel Africa Highlights Growing Opportunities for Mature Volunteers in Ethical Primate Conservation

Published

December 12, 2025

By

Harare, Zimbabwe, 12th Dec 2025 – Conservation Travel Africa is celebrating the continued growth and success of its ethical Primate Volunteer Program in Zimbabwe, with a particular rise in mature and senior volunteers seeking meaningful, hands-on conservation experiences. The programme—based at one of Zimbabwe’s most respected wildlife sanctuaries—offers volunteers of all ages the opportunity to work closely with rescued and orphaned primates, contributing directly to long-term rehabilitation and welfare.

The sanctuary provides a safe haven for primates affected by the illegal pet trade, habitat loss, and human-wildlife conflict. Volunteers play a vital role in supporting daily care, enrichment, enclosure management, and behavioural observation, all within a highly ethical framework that prioritises animal wellbeing.

A Welcoming Space for Mature Volunteers

Conservation Travel Africa continues to see increasing numbers of volunteers aged 50+ choosing its projects, drawn by supportive environments, comfortable accommodations, and opportunities to contribute meaningfully to conservation while experiencing Africa in an authentic and engaging way.

Among the most popular programmes for mature volunteers is the Primate Conservation Program in Zimbabwe—an intimate, hands-on experience ideal for those seeking a small, friendly sanctuary environment. Volunteers work alongside dedicated local staff, gaining insight into the daily realities of wildlife rescue while building strong connections within the team.

Other Mature-Friendly Volunteer Opportunities

Beyond primate care, Conservation Travel Africa offers a wide range of projects designed to suit different interests, skill levels, and comfort preferences:

  • Community Outreach – Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe: Very small group sizes create a personalised and flexible volunteering experience. Project managers tailor activities according to community needs and the skills volunteers bring.
     
  • Big 5 National Parks, Zimbabwe: Run by an experienced couple in their 60s, this field assistant role allows volunteers to shadow seasoned conservationists as they carry out real-time wildlife monitoring and management across major parks.
     
  • Rhino & Elephant Program, Zimbabwe: With structured days, a family-style environment, and comfortable accommodation, this programme is ideal for first-time older volunteers seeking a supportive and familiar setting.
     
  • Endangered Wildlife Monitoring, South Africa: Popular with travellers who have previously been on safari, this research-focused programme offers in-depth exposure to conservation management in a vast protected area.
     
  • Humpback Whale Expedition, Mozambique: A unique marine project that requires no diving experience. Volunteers swim with and monitor whales while supporting ongoing scientific research, all from comfortable accommodation in a remote coastal setting.
     
  • Environmental Conservation, Malawi: Perfect for bird enthusiasts, this programme blends community engagement with river-based conservation work, exceptional birding, and a camping weekend in Majete Wildlife Reserve.
     

“We’re seeing a real shift in the way people want to travel later in life,” said Jane Palmer, Marketing Manager at Conservation Travel Africa. “Around 30% of our volunteers are over 50, and many are now boldly embarking on their first solo adventure. Programs like our Primate Conservation Project give mature volunteers a chance to reconnect with nature, make a meaningful impact, and experience Africa in a truly hands-on way.”

Ethical, Impactful Volunteering

Conservation Travel Africa remains committed to responsible wildlife experiences. All projects are operated in partnership with leading African sanctuaries, ensuring the highest standards of animal welfare. Unlike exploitative wildlife tourism, these programmes are non-commercial, with no breeding, performance, or hands-on activities that compromise animal wellbeing.

How to Join

Limited-time savings are available for volunteers joining the Primate Conservation Program in 2025, offering an added incentive for those ready to take the next step in their conservation journey. No prior experience is required—only enthusiasm, a willingness to learn, and a desire to contribute to meaningful wildlife protection.

Classic American Christmas Atmosphere: Affordable Ways to Wear Heritage Warmth—COOFANDY Red Plaid Series, Continuing Outdoor Culture and Holiday Traditions

Published

December 12, 2025

By

Street lamps are wrapped in gold foil, and the air is filled with the scent of cinnamon and mulled wine. The most touching aspects of December are perhaps these softly glowing everyday moments—and every seasonal wardrobe should include a red plaid flannel shirt steeped in memories.It evokes images of wool blankets stacked by the fireplace, smoke rising from a cabin after a snowfall, and the broad-shouldered silhouette of a father decorating the Christmas tree in an old shirt. The classic red plaid pattern seems to carry the warmth and sounds of the holidays, instantly transporting one back to those American holiday scenes filled with love.

American festive attire doesn’t have to be expensive.

When it comes to the origins of red plaid shirts, Filson is undoubtedly a pioneering representative. But classic style is never exclusive to high prices. Today, COOFANDY weaves this American festive spirit into a plush, affordably priced flannel shirt. The classic red-and-black plaid, crafted from a cotton blend, retains a touch of rugged texture while being gentle on the skin. You can casually roll up the sleeves to wrap gifts under the Christmas tree or layer it under a thick coat on a chilly morning, letting the plaid collar peek out subtly.Natural styling scenarios emerge effortlessly: pair it with straight-leg jeans and a pair of well-worn work boots, as if you’ve just returned from a winter walk in the woods; or tuck a pinecone or eucalyptus leaf into the shirt pocket to instantly brighten up your outfit. It captures the winter wardrobe vibes from Friends episodes and resembles the relaxed, familiar looks found in every American family’s Christmas photo album.

Layering Adds Depth to Festive Style

For a touch of scholarly refinement, try layering a diamond-patterned knit vest over the shirt. This classic Ivy League look features a V-neck that perfectly reveals the plaid collar and hem, adding both layers and a sense of festive ritual—as if you’re ready to unwrap gifts, sing carols, and share a toast with long-lost family members.

This Christmas, Dress in Classic Style, Warm a Season of Hearts
The resurgence of American outdoor traditions isn’t just about trends; it’s about how these timeless pieces resonate with everyday life, especially during seasons like Christmas that call for warmth and ritual. A simple red plaid shirt can accompany you while baking gingerbread cookies, decorating the Christmas tree, or cozying up on the couch to watch old movies.

There’s no need to chase after expensive heritage brands; affordability can still deliver classic American festive vibes. COOFANDY’s Red Plaid Series has prepared your entire holiday wardrobe. Special Christmas discounts are underway, with select styles up to 50% off. Treat yourself to some warmth or choose a thoughtful gift for someone special.Welcome to the COOFANDY flagship store or Amazon shop to take home your Christmas warmth.

For more information, please visit the COOFANDY website and Amazon storefront, or connect with COOFANDY on Facebook and Instagram.
