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.

MH Fine Hardware Releases Guide to Protecting South Florida Coastal Homes Against Severe Plumbing Corrosion
West Palm Beach premier luxury fixture retailer MH Fine Hardware has released an expert educational guide aimed at helping local homeowners protect their luxury kitchens and baths from South Florida’s aggressive coastal climate. Featuring diagnostic insights from founder Vicki Pfeil, the guide identifies five critical warning signs of coastal plumbing breakdown caused by high humidity, salt-air exposure, and heavy mineral buildup. Leading West Palm Beach fixture showroom highlights 5 critical warning signs of coastal plumbing failure to help homeowners prevent costly luxury bath and kitchen damage.
Leading West Palm Beach fixture showroom highlights 5 critical warning signs of coastal plumbing failure to help homeowners prevent costly luxury bath and kitchen damage. — MH Fine Hardware, West Palm Beach’s leading showroom for luxury architectural hardware and high-end bath fixtures, has announced the publication of an essential local educational guide designed to help South Florida homeowners identify early signs of plumbing fixture breakdown before disastrous leaks and costly structural repairs occur.
Living along the South Florida coast presents distinct architectural challenges that off-the-shelf fixtures are simply not built to withstand. Homeowners in West Palm Beach, Palm Beach Island, and surrounding coastal enclaves face constant fixture exposure to airborne salt, ambient humidity exceeding 80% year-round, and hard municipal groundwater high in calcium and magnesium. These aggressive environmental factors combine to drastically accelerate internal valve degradation and surface corrosion, turning standard plumbing installations into hidden structural hazards.
According to a recent 2026 homeowner survey, over 60% of homeowners make emergency, reactive plumbing repairs after visible damage has already occurred—often resulting in thousands of dollars in preventable water damage to custom cabinetry, subflooring, and premium tilework.
“Coastal living offers an enviable lifestyle, but South Florida’s environment is uniquely unforgiving on home plumbing systems,” says Vicki Pfeil, Founder of MH Fine Hardware. “When homeowners rely on standard builder-grade fixtures or unrated metals, salt air and mineral-dense water slowly destroy valve seals and brass fittings from the inside out. Our goal with this guide is to empower West Palm Beach residents to spot these early indicators early, allowing them to preserve both the structural integrity and aesthetic elegance of their homes.”
5 Warning Signs of Coastal Plumbing Deterioration Every Homeowner Should Know
- Greenish Crust or White Mineral Scaling Around Fixture Base & Supply Lines: Bright green oxidation or chalky white buildup near faucet bases and under-sink shutoff valves indicates active galvanic reaction and micro-leaking caused by hard water minerals interacting with coastal salt air. Left unchecked, this buildup compromises thread seals and leads to sudden joint pressure failure.
- Pitting, Flaking, or Spotty Discoloration on Plated Metal Finishes: When chrome, nickel, or standard lacquer finishes begin to bubble or pit, airborne salt spray has penetrated the top protective layer. Moisture trapped beneath the plating oxidizes the base brass, weakening the physical structure of spouts and handles.
- Unexplained Water Pressure Drops in Custom Showers & Faucets: A gradual loss of flow strength in rain showerheads or lavatory faucets often signals internal valve cartridge degradation caused by South Florida’s heavy calcium scale. Mineral encrustation prevents mixing valves from opening fully, forcing system backpressure against aging supply lines.
- Stiff, Squeaky, or Sticking Faucet Handles and Diverters: Handles that become difficult to turn or make grinding noises indicate internal rubber O-rings and ceramic cartridges are drying out and corroding. In coastal environments, salt particles bind with degraded lubricants, creating friction that eventually snaps valve stems inside the wall.
- Discolored Water or Metallic Odors During First Morning Use: Water running reddish-brown or carrying a metallic taste after sitting idle overnight points to interior corrosion inside iron or low-grade brass supply connections. This interior flaking contaminates water flow and signals that internal wall pipes require immediate inspection.
“Proactive investment in marine-grade stainless steel, solid unlacquered brass, and PVD protective finishes is the single best defense against South Florida’s elements. Elevating your hardware isn’t just about design—it’s about lasting engineering.” — Vicki Pfeil, Founder

GSJJ Announces Market Analysis: UK SMEs Leverage Branding Strategies to Optimize Marketing ROI
Edinburgh, Scotland, August 3rd, 2026, FinanceWire
GSJJ has released a new market analysis report examining how Scottish SMEs are adapting their promotional strategies amid tightening budgets and fluctuating customer acquisition costs. The report highlights that an increasing number of businesses are turning to high-perceived-value custom merchandise to strengthen long-term brand equity while maintaining greater control over marketing expenditure.
Key Findings from the GSJJ Market Analysis Report
According to the report, selecting the right promotional materials has become an important strategy for Scottish businesses seeking to improve marketing efficiency. The report highlights that Scottish businesses are increasingly turning to materials that combine durability with aesthetic appeal, such as Custom Pin Badges and Custom Patches. Unlike digital advertising, physical promotional products serve as tangible assets that help build brand equity over the long term and establish a stable brand image.
For projects with complex design details, the choice of production process directly impacts operating costs. Offset printing technology enables photo-quality image reproduction but entails high mould costs. Guidance on aligning production methods with specific branding requirements is detailed in GSJJ’s latest manufacturing report.
Economies of Scale in Institutional Procurement
For alumni associations and various community organisations, bulk purchasing has become a primary method for reducing unit costs. The report also highlights that organisations with large memberships can benefit from bulk purchasing strategies to reduce unit costs and improve budget allocation. They typically partner with reputable badge manufacturers to ensure product quality while maintaining strict control over their annual marketing budgets.
Budget Optimization for Non-Profit Organizations
Publicity and visibility are crucial for non-profit organisations; however, given their limited budgets, this report outlines several suitable strategies to address this challenge:
- Soft Enamel: Delivers professional aesthetic standards at a scalable price point.
- Printed Aluminium: Reduces shipping and material costs through lightweight alternatives.
- Die-Struck Metal (No Colour): Utilises streamlined manufacturing to minimise overhead.
- PVC Pins: Provides durable, cost-effective solutions for large-scale outdoor events.
- Fabric Patches: Offers a versatile, long-term branding solution for volunteer apparel, supported by broader industry manufacturing standards.
Strategic Marketing Perspective
Commenting on the report findings, Karen, Marketing Director at GSJJ, stated: “In the current economic climate, local Scottish businesses are prioritising the use of promotional gifts to maintain brand engagement while keeping a tight rein on marketing expenditure. This shift towards items with high perceived value reflects a widespread desire among companies to maximise the return on every marketing investment.”
About GSJJ
GSJJ is a global manufacturer of custom promotional products, including custom pin badges, challenge coins, patches, and lanyards. The company utilises a factory-direct model to provide clients in the UK and international markets with transparent pricing structures and efficient production cycles.
