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.

Seoul, South Korea, 19th Oct 2026 — South Korean food technology company NET is expanding its custom beverage tablet development and manufacturing services for food manufacturers and consumer brands. The company is applying formulation and production experience gained through Pocket Tonic to products developed around clients’ ingredients and beverage concepts.
NET’s services begin with assessing whether a client’s ingredients and intended product characteristics are suitable for a beverage tablet. Development then progresses through formulation, prototype production and the establishment of manufacturing conditions, with evaluations covering taste, dissolution, storage stability and production feasibility.
According to NET, developing a beverage tablet requires more than compressing powdered ingredients. Different ingredients affect flavor after dissolution, sensitivity to moisture and quality during storage. The company manages formulation and manufacturing conditions to support consistent quality across production batches.
Pocket Tonic, NET’s first commercial product, is an effervescent tablet that dissolves in water to make a refreshing tonic drink. Its compact format allows it to be carried and stored at room temperature. Consumer feedback on taste and ease of use informs NET’s subsequent product development.
In 2023, NET received the Minister of Science and ICT Award, the grand prize at the Food Technology Awards organized by the Korea Food Research Institute.
NET is working with South Korean food manufacturers and consumer brands on customized formulations. Feedback from Pocket Tonic customers informs these projects, while ingredient and manufacturing data generated through client development work contributes to NET’s own product development. Areas under development include hydration drinks, specialty non-alcoholic bases and beverages for café use.
The company is also exploring distribution opportunities in Indonesia and Singapore. Through its participation in the GSA (Global Startup Academy) G-Camp One ScaleX Indonesia program, NET has conducted market research and business meetings with representatives from the coffee, foodservice and hospitality sectors to discuss potential applications in cafés, restaurants and hotels.
“Pocket Tonic has helped us bring our beverage tablet technology to market and understand how consumers use the product,” said Ye-seong Kim, CEO of NET. “We are applying that experience to custom development and manufacturing based on each client’s ingredients and beverage concept.”
Kim said NET will prioritize projects that can progress from development to commercial production and repeat supply, with attention to taste, ease of use and consistent manufacturing quality.
NET plans to expand its own product portfolio alongside its custom development services, build on its ingredient-specific formulation data and further improve its production and quality management systems.
[About NET] NET is a South Korea-based food technology company specializing in beverage tablet development and manufacturing. It operates the Pocket Tonic brand and provides custom formulation, prototyping and commercial production services for business clients.

Quartz Countertops Releases South Florida Guide on 5 Signs It’s Time to Upgrade Countertops
Pompano Beach-based retailer Quartz Countertops has released an essential homeowner’s guide detailing five critical warning signs that signal a kitchen or bathroom countertop needs immediate replacement. Designed for South Florida residents facing severe coastal humidity and high heat, the guide highlights proactive measures to prevent moisture seepage, cabinet structural damage, and costly emergency kitchen renovations.
Pompano Beach, Florida, United States, 19th Oct 2026 — Coastal humidity, heavy household use, and constant exposure to heat take a severe toll on South Florida kitchen and bathroom surfaces. To help local homeowners prevent hidden structural damage beneath their vanities and cabinetry, Quartz Countertops, Pompano Beach’s premier engineered stone specialist, has published an educational guide outlining the five most crucial warning signs that signal an essential countertop replacement.
According to a recent 2026 industry survey, over 60% of South Florida homeowners delay upgrading aging surfaces until an emergency occurs, such as severe water infiltration damaging sub-cabinetry or mold growth behind failing backsplashes. In coastal regions like Pompano Beach, high ambient humidity and everyday kitchen spills accelerate the degradation of outdated laminate, tiled, or poorly sealed natural stone surfaces.
“Homeowners often overlook the early signs of countertop failure until liquid begins leaking into their base cabinets or mold takes hold underneath,” said a spokesperson for Quartz Countertops. “By identifying structural fatigue and surface degradation early, homeowners can avoid thousands of dollars in hidden repair costs while significantly enhancing the beauty and resale value of their property.”
5 Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Countertops
- Unsealable Stains & Discoloration: Persistent staining, etching, or yellowing on aged natural stone or solid surface tops indicates that sealants have failed, leaving porous materials exposed to bacteria and liquid absorption.
- Deep Cracks, Chips, or Structural Fissures: Visible fissures near sinks, cooktops, or heavy seams jeopardize surface integrity, providing pathways for moisture to seep into structural cabinet frames underneath.
- Porous Seams & Grout Failure: Deteriorated grout lines in tile counters or separating seams on older laminates trap food particles, water, and mold spores that cannot be sanitized using standard cleaners.
- Water Damage & Cabinet Sagging: Soft spots, warped cabinet tops, or visible water stains under sink basins indicate hidden leaks caused by deteriorated sink seals and failing countertop edges.
- Outdated Aesthetic & Compromised Lifespan: Surfaces that have exceeded their 15- to 20-year lifespan drag down overall home evaluation scores and lack the sanitary, low-maintenance benefits of modern engineered stone.
To help homeowners navigate these challenges, Quartz Countertops offers personalized consultations and free slab quotes across Broward and Palm Beach counties. Featuring a massive 20,000-square-foot showroom with thousands of full-size slabs, the company provides low-maintenance, non-porous quartz surfaces designed specifically to withstand South Florida’s coastal environment.
