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.

GISEC Global to Launch Cyber Diplomacy Forum in 2026 as Cybersecurity Moves Centre-Stage in Global Trade and Foreign Policy
Abu Dhabi, UAE, 4th February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, GISEC Global, the Middle East and Africa’s largest and most influential cybersecurity event, has announced the launch of the Cyber Diplomacy Forum, a new high-level platform debuting at GISEC Global 2026, reflecting the growing role of cybersecurity in foreign policy, international trade and national security decision-making.
The announcement follows an invitation-only Cyber Envoys’ Breakfast Briefing held in Abu Dhabi on 29 January, which convened more than 140 diplomats, including 32 ambassadors, trade attachés and senior representatives from international missions and business councils based in the UAE, such as Ambassador of India Deepak Mittal, European Union Ambassador Lucie Berger, and Egypt’s Ambassador, Essam Ashour. The closed-door briefing offered diplomatic stakeholders an early look at the Forum’s scope and objectives, ahead of its formal debut in 2026.
Developed in collaboration with the UAE Cybersecurity Council and powered by DAAKYI, the Cyber Diplomacy Forum is designed as a dedicated platform for governments, multilateral institutions and the private sector to address the increasingly cross-border nature of cyber risk. As cyber incidents continue to disrupt global supply chains, financial systems and critical infrastructure, the Forum positions cybersecurity as a strategic enabler of economic stability, trade confidence and international cooperation.
New for 2026, GISEC Global will also introduce the International Cyber Zone, bringing together more than 20 country pavilions – including Australia, Singapore, and South Korea – to showcase national cybersecurity capabilities, policy priorities and cross-border collaboration opportunities. The new zone reinforces the event’s role as a convening platform for government-led engagement, enabling countries to align policy, trade and innovation agendas within the global cybersecurity ecosystem.
At GISEC Global 2026, the Cyber Diplomacy Forum will focus on the intersection of cybersecurity and diplomacy, including the role of cyber policy in trade relations, public-private coordination on cross-border threats, and the development of shared approaches to cyber resilience in an increasingly fragmented digital landscape. The Forum will also see strong participation from Africa, with a delegation of government officials, ministers and cybersecurity companies from more than 12 African countries expected to attend. The delegation will be led by DAAKYI Secure Africa, headquartered in Ghana, reflecting the growing role of African governments in shaping global cyber policy and digital resilience frameworks.
The launch of the Cyber Diplomacy Forum reinforces GISEC Global’s evolving role as a global convening platform, bridging technology, policy, diplomacy, and international trade. By embedding cyber diplomacy into its 2026 programme, GISEC Global aims to facilitate sustained dialogue between governments and the private sector, supporting secure digital transformation worldwide.
Speaking on the announcement, Alex Nicholl, Vice President of New Industries at Dubai World Trade Centre, which organises GISEC Global, said: “Cybersecurity has moved beyond the IT
department and into the heart of diplomacy, trade and national security. The Cyber Diplomacy Forum reflects a clear shift in how governments are engaging with cyber risk – not as a technical issue, but as a strategic and economic one that requires coordinated international dialogue.”
The launch reinforces GISEC Global’s evolving role as a convening platform for policy, business and technology leaders, bringing diplomatic voices into structured dialogue with industry, investors and innovators. It also underscores the UAE’s positioning as a neutral hub for international engagement on emerging global challenges.
GISEC Global 2026 will take place from 5–7 May 2026 at Dubai Exhibition Centre (DEC), Expo City Dubai, bringing together policymakers, CISOs, technology leaders, startups and investors from over 160 countries.

2026 Loungewear Trend Forecast: Boundless Comfort, Stylish at Home —— EKOUAER Leads the New 2026 Loungewear Trend with the Philosophy of “Comfort Without Compromise”
In the fast-paced modern lifestyle, loungewear has evolved beyond just sleepwear, becoming an expression of personal style and an all-day comfortable living attitude. As a pioneer in the loungewear industry, EKOUAER is leading the new comfort trends for the 2026 loungewear market with its unique perspective and exceptional products.
Shift in U.S. Consumer Demand: Loungewear Beyond the Bedroom
In recent years, U.S. consumers’ demand for loungewear has undergone significant changes. They are no longer satisfied with viewing loungewear merely as sleep attire but expect it to integrate into every aspect of daily life—whether relaxing at home, taking a walk outside, or attending small gatherings, loungewear should serve as an ideal choice for expressing personal style and comfort. This shift in consumer behavior has created new growth opportunities and design inspiration for the loungewear market.
Four Trends Defining the New 2026 Loungewear Wave
- All-day Comfort Takes Center Stage
Advances in fabrics and tailoring enable loungewear to effortlessly transition from morning to night, meeting the demands of all-day scenarios. Consumers seek a wearing experience that offers both soft, enveloping comfort and a fresh, dry feel throughout the day. - Hybrid Wear Drives Design Innovation
The need for light outdoor activities, such as picking up packages or taking neighborhood walks, requires loungewear to balance privacy with a presentable appearance. Tailoring emphasizes “relaxed but not sloppy,” incorporating subtle details into loose-fitting designs to ensure effortless style during unexpected outings. - Soft-touch Fabrics Continue to Evolve
Beyond classic cotton and modal, materials like satin and silk blends are gaining popularity for their lightweight, breathable, and subtly lustrous qualities. These fabrics not only offer a luxurious feel but also enhance overall dressing sophistication. - Relaxed but Polished Emerges as the New Aesthetic
The new generation of loungewear moves away from an overly casual look. Through thoughtful details like refined collars, elegant piping, and well-placed prints, it achieves an understated elegance while ensuring absolute comfort.
EKOUAER: Responding to Trend Evolution with Product Innovation
Several of EKOUAER’s products exemplify these emerging trends:
Satin Pajama Set, crafted from ultra-soft silk-touch fabric, combines breathability and skin-friendly comfort. With its classic collar and button design, it strikes a perfect balance between comfort and minimalist style, seamlessly transitioning from casual lounging at home to gatherings with friends.
Silk Satin Pajama Set interprets the “relaxed yet refined” concept with its unique satin material and contrast piping details. The elastic waistband and side slit design ensure freedom of movement while adding a touch of understated sensuality.
Camisole Nightgown is designed for consumers seeking simplicity and coolness. Made from elastic, breathable fabric with a liberating camisole back, it can be worn as loungewear or paired with an outer layer for outdoor cool-weather outfits.
Bohemian Print Romper represents the epitome of Hybrid Wear. With its relaxed jumpsuit silhouette, vibrant prints, adjustable straps, and practical pockets, it effortlessly transitions across various scenarios—from home lounging and vacation wear to everyday outings—making it a versatile staple for simplifying your wardrobe.
Industry Recognition and Market Favor
EKOUAER’s leading designs are not only beloved by consumers but have also earned recognition from authoritative platforms. The brand’s products have been featured on lifestyle TV programs such as Good Night New York and Coffee with America, sharing the aesthetics of home comfort. They have also been highlighted in renowned fashion magazine ELLE. Additionally, EKOUAER’s collections have been consistently selected for the “Amazon Holiday Gift Guide,” receiving official endorsement as a top comfort choice, further solidifying their reputation as a preferred gift option.
In 2026, the loungewear industry will enter a new phase where “comfort and style coexist, functionality and scenarios merge.” EKOUAER remains committed to prioritizing consumer needs, driving continuous product innovation, and offering trend insights. By providing loungewear that combines comfort with thoughtful design, the brand not only meets user expectations but also solidifies its position as an industry trendsetter. Moving forward, EKOUAER will continue to delve into skin-friendly fabrics and versatile scenario-based designs, ensuring the experience of “Comfort Without Compromise” permeates every moment of life.

New Trends in Loungewear! No Compromise on Comfort, EKOUAER Unlocks Multi-Scenario Styling for Home Life
As the boundaries between home, work, and socializing become increasingly blurred, a great set of loungewear has long surpassed the category of “pajamas.” It is not only a private fortress of comfort but also a versatile “uniform” that maintains composure and presentability for unexpected visitors, working from home, school runs, or even strolls around the neighborhood. By 2026, the ultimate proposition for loungewear lies in “full-scenario adaptability.”
How to translate this trend into reality and choose loungewear that truly fits the rhythm of modern life? The brand EKOUAER, with its philosophy of “Comfort. No Compromise.”, provides a clear four-dimensional selection guide and offers ready-to-own solutions.
Shopping Guide: Four Key Dimensions to Identify Your Ideal Loungewear
I. Fabric: Soft, Breathable, and Easy Care
High-quality loungewear starts with skin-friendly fabrics that balance breathability and easy maintenance. Popular materials like satin, silk, and knit offer a delicate touch, excellent drape, and good elasticity. The “machine-washable” design is especially recommended—effortlessly fitting into a fast-paced lifestyle while making comfort even more convenient.
II. Fit: Inclusive and Relaxed Yet Tailored
Fit determines both comfort and appearance. Too tight feels restrictive; too loose looks sloppy. The ideal design incorporates appropriate ease at the shoulders, waist, and legs—not overly snug yet naturally flattering. It accommodates different body types, ensuring ease and appropriateness whether at home or stepping out briefly.
III. Versatility: One Outfit, Multiple Uses, Seamless Transitions
Modern loungewear must adapt to various scenarios: maintaining a light formal touch for working from home, while staying neat and simple for school runs or quick outings. Opt for sets with clean designs and gentle colors to transition smoothly between occasions, reducing the need for frequent changes and truly embracing “home as life, stepping out with ease.”
IV. Value for Money: High Frequency, Broad Occasion Coverage
High value means high usage and wide applicability. A set of loungewear that doubles as sleepwear, homewear, and casual outerwear offers multiple functions for the price of one—perfectly aligning practicality and lifestyle aesthetics.
EKOUAER, Wearing CozyLove into Every Relaxing Moment
Based on the above dimensions and insights into modern life, EKOUAER has created multiple loungewear pieces that balance design and functionality:
- Satin Pajama Set: Made from silky satin material, soft and skin-friendly. The short sleeves and relaxed pants design are perfect for relaxing at home, while the simple striped style can also handle brief outings directly.
- Silk Satin Set: Features unique button designs that balance aesthetics with breastfeeding convenience, suitable for moms or users who value easy wearability.
- Racerback Sleeveless Pajama Top: Made from stretchy, breathable fabric, the camisole cut with adjustable straps balances a sexy home style and potential for summer outerwear, offering versatile styling.
- Floral Loose Jumpsuit: With vibrant prints, a loose fit, and lightweight fabric, it creates a bohemian-style piece suitable for home, vacation, or even maternity wear, achieving multi-scenario versatility.
These products collectively embody EKOUAER’s core strengths: pursuing ultimate skin-friendliness and easy care in fabrics, achieving a balance between relaxation and flattery in fit, and covering multiple needs from the private bedroom to semi-public outings in terms of scenarios. They truly exemplify the modern loungewear demand of “one outfit, multiple uses.”
Market Recognition, Witnessing Brand Strength
EKOUAER has not only won widespread consumer affection but has also been frequently recommended by media and platforms. Beyond being selected for the “Amazon Holiday Gift Guide,” it was featured earlier this year on the renowned lifestyle program “Lifestyle Today,” further confirming its exceptional balance between comfort and style.
When loungewear is no longer confined to the bedroom, when comfort and presentability no longer require a trade-off, EKOUAER is redefining the possibilities of modern loungewear with its steadfast proposition of “Comfort. No Compromise.” Whether you’re an urban woman pursuing daily relaxation, a mom balancing family and self, or a practical individual focused on life efficiency, you can find a choice that fits your needs at EKOUAER!
