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

Glaros Law attorney raised $121,746.56 for three local organizations during the annual community fundraising campaign.
Brandon, Florida, United States, 26th Sep 2026 – The Law Offices of Steven J. Glaros and Associates is announcing that attorney Steve Glaros was named the 2026 Honorary Mayor of East Hillsborough following the annual charitable fundraising campaign organized through the Valrico FishHawk Chamber of Commerce. Glaros raised $121,746.56 during the 2026 campaign, with funds benefiting High 5 Inc., Impact Program Inc., and Raining Cats and Dogs Shelter and Sanctuary. The campaign concluded in July, with the results recognizing Glaros as the 20th Honorary Mayor of East Hillsborough.

Annual Honorary Mayor Race Supports Local Charitable Organizations
The Valrico FishHawk Chamber of Commerce 2026 Honorary Mayor’s Race is a nonpolitical community fundraising initiative rather than an elected government office. Candidates participate in a monthlong campaign and select local nonprofit organizations to benefit from funds generated through campaign activities. The candidate raising the highest amount receives the Honorary Mayor title, connecting the annual program with charitable organizations serving residents and families throughout the East Hillsborough area.
Glaros participated in the 2026 campaign through a series of fundraising activities held during June. His campaign generated $121,746.56, setting a new individual fundraising record for the annual program. The proceeds were designated for High 5 Inc., Impact Program Inc., and Raining Cats and Dogs Shelter and Sanctuary, three organizations serving different needs within the surrounding community.
2026 Campaign Reaches Record Combined Fundraising Total
The 2026 Honorary Mayor race generated a combined $169,643.99 for local charitable organizations. Glaros participated alongside Chris Ciulla, whose campaign raised $47,897.43 for Forgotten Angels and ECHO. Ciulla was subsequently recognized as the program’s first Deputy Mayor, adding a new designation to the annual campaign while recognizing the fundraising accomplished by both participants.
The combined total represented a record for the Honorary Mayor program and distributed support among five charitable organizations. The campaign included multiple community fundraising events during June before the final results were announced at the program’s wrap-up gathering on July 13, 2026. Additional information about the results and participating organizations was reported in the Osprey Observer’s coverage of the record-setting Honorary Mayor campaign.
Glaros Campaign Benefits Three East Hillsborough Area Organizations
Funds raised through the Glaros campaign were directed to High 5 Inc., Impact Program Inc., and Raining Cats and Dogs Shelter and Sanctuary. The selection of three beneficiaries allowed the campaign to direct funding toward organizations working in different areas of community service while connecting the annual Honorary Mayor program with causes operating throughout the surrounding area.
Fundraising activities conducted throughout the campaign contributed to the final $121,746.56 total and ultimately resulted in Glaros receiving the 2026 Honorary Mayor designation. The campaign also contributed substantially to the overall record amount raised by the two participating candidates during the 2026 program.
Steve Glaros Becomes 20th Honorary Mayor of East Hillsborough
The conclusion of the 2026 campaign marked the selection of the 20th person to hold the Honorary Mayor of East Hillsborough title. Glaros received the designation after the final fundraising totals were calculated, continuing a community tradition centered on charitable fundraising rather than governmental responsibilities or political office. Glaros Law has also published additional information about Steve Glaros being named the 2026 Honorary Mayor of East Hillsborough, including details about the campaign, participating organizations and the record fundraising total.
The 2026 results also marked a significant year for the program through the record combined fundraising total and the introduction of the Deputy Mayor designation. With $169,643.99 raised between the two campaigns, the annual program directed funding to five organizations serving East Hillsborough and surrounding communities.
Glaros Law Maintains Ties to Brandon and the Tampa Bay Area
The Law Offices of Steven J. Glaros and Associates maintains a Brandon law office serving eastern Hillsborough County and surrounding communities including Riverview, Valrico, Seffner, Bloomingdale, Lithia, FishHawk Ranch, Dover and Plant City. The firm’s legal services include family law, personal injury, estate planning and other civil legal matters.
The firm’s practice includes representation in family law matters involving divorce, child custody, child support, paternity and related family issues, as well as personal injury matters and estate planning. The firm’s involvement in the 2026 Honorary Mayor campaign occurred alongside its continuing legal practice throughout Brandon and the greater Tampa Bay area.
The 2026 Honorary Mayor campaign concluded with Glaros receiving the annual title following his $121,746.56 fundraising total. The funds generated through his campaign will benefit the three designated charitable organizations, while the overall race concluded with $169,643.99 raised for five organizations through the combined efforts of the two participating campaigns.

DTC Group Joins AI Expo Thailand 2026 as Partner, Speaker
DTC Group will take part in AI Expo Thailand 2026, running October 1 to 4 at IMPACT Challenger in Nonthaburi, with CEO Barami Rai joining the conference.
Thailand, 26th Sep 2026 – DTC Group, a Web3 growth partner operating across Asia Pacific, will take part in AI Expo Thailand 2026 as a partner, with Cofounder and Chief Executive Officer Barami Rai joining the event’s conference programme. The four day exhibition runs from October 1 to 4 at IMPACT Challenger in Muang Thong Thani, Nonthaburi.

AI Expo Thailand 2026 brings together more than 300 booths across a 17,136 square metre floor, alongside a startup village housing 50 AI startups and a conference programme of keynote talks, panel discussions and workshop sessions. The show floor is organised into named areas including a Generative AI Zone, AI for Industry, a Live Demo Arena and an AI Networking Lounge, and an AI Awards Thailand programme will recognise companies working in the field. An AI Career Fair running alongside the exhibition brings more than 50 companies recruiting on site, and a dedicated B2B area is set aside for business matching between exhibitors, corporate buyers and investors. The exhibition follows the Road to AI Expo meetup series, which ran six free sessions in Bangkok in the months leading up to the show, bringing together developers, founders and companies working on AI ahead of the main event.
AI Expo Thailand 2026 covers enterprise AI, generative AI and robotics, with exhibitors showing tools, platforms and hardware across the four days. The exhibition is co located with Thailand Mobile Expo, a long running Thai consumer technology show, which brings a general consumer audience through the same venue alongside trade visitors.
The company will use the event to meet founders, operators and investors working on regional go to market plans, and to speak with teams evaluating Thailand and the wider region as a launch market. Barami Rai will join the conference programme alongside speakers drawn from Thailand’s technology industry.
The exhibition occupies Hall 2 at IMPACT Challenger, with a floor measuring 153 by 112 metres. General admission is free and covers the exhibition booths and the outdoor activity area, with advance registration available for faster entry. Access to the conference sessions and workshop rooms requires a paid pass, with current tiers listed on the event website. The exhibition is open 10:00 to 19:00 daily from October 1 to 4 at IMPACT Challenger, Muang Thong Thani, Nonthaburi, with free parking for more than 10,000 vehicles.
Exhibitor and sponsor packages for AI Expo Thailand 2026 remain open, ranging from full sponsor stands on the main exhibition floor to smaller booths in the Startup Village. Companies looking to exhibit, sponsor, or take part in the AI Career Fair can apply through the event website, where visitor registration for the four days is also open.
The conference programme runs across all four days, with sessions on the Main Stage and in the workshop rooms. The AI Networking Lounge is set aside for executives, developers and investors attending the show, and the Live Demo Arena gives visitors access to working systems on the floor rather than slides alone.
More than 60 speakers will take part across the four days, with further names still to be announced ahead of the show. Sessions run alongside the exhibition floor rather than in a separate venue, so visitors can move between talks and stands during the same visit.
The event is aimed at business teams evaluating AI tools, developers and engineers, startups seeking investment or customers, and jobseekers using the AI Career Fair, which runs on all four days of the exhibition. Day passes are available for visitors attending a single day, and four day passes cover the full run of the exhibition and the conference programme.
