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.

Taylor and Stirling Celebrates 80 Years of Custom Blinds, Curtains and Awnings in Australia
Australian window furnishing manufacturer Taylor and Stirling marks 80 years in business in 2026. The company manufactures custom curtains, roller blinds, honeycomb blinds, plantation shutters, motorised blinds, outdoor blinds and awnings in Ballarat and Tasmania, with free measure and quote across regional Victoria and southern Tasmania.
Ballarat, Victoria, Australia, 4th Jul 2026 — Taylor & Stirling, one of Australia’s longest-running window furnishing manufacturers, is marking 80 years of business in 2026. The family company has been measuring, making and fitting curtains and blinds for homes across regional Victoria since 1946, and today runs showrooms in Ballarat and Huonville, Tasmania, along with its own manufacturing workrooms in Ballarat and on Bruny Island.
Eighty years is a long time in any trade, and the company has watched window furnishings change from simple holland blinds and heavy drapes to motorised blinds that respond to the weather. What has not changed, according to the team, is the basic job: keeping heat in during a Ballarat winter, keeping glare out of a north-facing living room, and making sure the finished product actually fits the window it was measured for.
A Full Indoor Range, Made to Measure
Taylor & Stirling’s indoor range covers just about every window covering a home might need. Roller blinds remain the biggest seller, and the company makes them in every configuration customers ask for. Sunscreen blinds filter glare while keeping the view, blockout blinds darken bedrooms and home theatres completely, and dual roller systems combine both fabrics on a single bracket so a homeowner can switch between privacy and light through the day.
Honeycomb blinds, also known as cellular blinds, have become one of the fastest-growing parts of the business, particularly in colder areas. The pockets of air trapped inside the cell structure act as insulation across the glass, and the company reports that many Ballarat and Hobart customers now fit them specifically to cut heating bills rather than for looks alone.
The soft furnishing side of the business is where the company’s history shows. Custom curtains, sheers, swags and tails, roman blinds and matching pelmets are still cut and sewn in the company’s own workrooms rather than ordered from an overseas catalogue. Curtain tracks, including motorised curtain tracks for wide openings and hard-to-reach windows, are fitted by the company’s own installers. Full details of the indoor range are available on the Taylor & Stirling curtains and blinds page at https://www.taylorandstirling.com.au/home/indoor-curtains-blinds/
The range is rounded out by plantation shutters, venetian blinds in timber and aluminium, vertical blinds for sliding doors and large glass panels, panel glides, and bamboo and natural fibre weaves. Skylight blinds and coverings for raked or angled windows are also made to order, an area where off-the-shelf products rarely work.
Wide Windows Are No Longer a Problem
One area the company has invested in over recent years is wide-span blinds. Modern homes in the region are being built with larger openings, and standard blind hardware simply does not span them. Taylor & Stirling now manufactures extra-wide roller blinds and extra-wide honeycomb blinds as single units across openings that would previously have needed two or three blinds with light gaps between them. For very large spans, motorisation removes the strain of lifting heavy fabric by hand.
Motorisation Moves From Luxury to Standard
Motorised blinds were a niche product a decade ago. Today the company fits automation systems from Somfy, Alpha and Automate across most of its product range, from single roller blinds to whole-home installations linked to smart home platforms. Timers, sun sensors and phone control mean blinds can close against the afternoon sun or drop for privacy at dusk without anyone touching them. The company says motorisation requests now come as often from retirees who want to stop climbing behind furniture to reach cords as they do from smart home enthusiasts.
Outdoor Living, Built for Real Weather
The outdoor side of the business has grown steadily as households spend more on alfresco areas. Taylor & Stirling supplies and installs outdoor blinds, patio blinds and alfresco blinds in track-guided and motorised configurations, including Ziptrak-style side channel systems that lock fabric down against wind. Screeny outdoor blinds, a European-engineered zip screen system, are offered for openings where wind resistance and a clean finish matter most.
Awnings make up the other half of the outdoor range. Folding arm awnings extend shade over patios and decks without posts, while retractable awnings, fixed canopies and window awnings handle everything from shopfronts to west-facing bedroom windows. The company also installs louvred and retractable roof systems for customers who want a fully covered outdoor room. The complete outdoor collection can be viewed at https://www.taylorandstirling.com.au/outdoor-blinds-shutters-awnings/
Products in this range are chosen for the conditions the company’s customers actually live in. Ballarat’s frosts, the winds that come off the Southern Ocean into Tasmania’s Huon Valley, and bushfire-zone building requirements all shape what the company is willing to put its name on.
“People sometimes ask why we have lasted eighty years when so many competitors have come and gone,” a spokesperson for Taylor & Stirling said. “The honest answer is that we measure everything ourselves, we make most of it ourselves, and we are still here when something needs adjusting five years later. In this trade, the follow-up is the business.”
Free Measure and Quote Across Two States
Taylor & Stirling offers a free measure and quote service across its Victorian service area, which includes Ballarat, Buninyong, Daylesford, Creswick, Clunes, Hepburn Springs, Trentham and surrounding towns, and across southern Tasmania, including Hobart, Kingston, Huonville, Cygnet, Margate, Blackmans Bay and the Channel region. A consultant visits the home with fabric and material samples, measures each opening, and provides a fixed quotation with no obligation.
Both showrooms display working examples of the major product lines, including plantation shutters, honeycomb blinds, folding arm awnings and motorised systems, so customers can operate the products before ordering. The company also handles repairs and maintenance on its own installations, a service that has kept some customer relationships running across three generations of the same family.
The business also serves commercial clients, supplying anti-ligature window furnishings for health facilities and commercial-grade systems from Markilux, HelioScreen, Silent Gliss, Vertilux and Verosol.
For homes with tilt-and-turn or European-style windows, the company’s Perfect Fit range clips honeycomb, roller and venetian blinds directly to the window frame without drilling, keeping the glass line clean and the blind moving with the sash. It is a small detail, but it is the kind of problem that a mass-market retailer will not solve and a local manufacturer can, which is largely how the company has kept its place in the market for eight decades.
Anyone planning new window furnishings, replacing tired blinds or building an outdoor entertaining area can browse the full range and book a free measure and quote through the Taylor & Stirling website at https://www.taylorandstirling.com.au/
About Taylor & Stirling
Taylor & Stirling has manufactured and installed custom window furnishings since 1946. The company operates showrooms at 22 Sturt Street, Ballarat, Victoria and 11 Wilmot Road, Huonville, Tasmania, with manufacturing in Ballarat and on Bruny Island.

Fifsee Brings FIFSCORE, AI Studio and Personalized AI Real Estate Intelligence to 118 Countries
One platform for FSBO buyers, sellers, travelers, renters and business users — featuring FIFSCORE, AI restyling with recoloring and furniture modeling, 3D modeling, market insights, and Get Connected – Worldwide.
United States, 4th Jul 2026 — Global real estate represents the world’s largest asset class, valued at over $3+ trillion — yet the vast majority of the billions of individuals who participate in it as buyers, renters, property owners, investors, business operators, and travelers do so without access to quality, personalized market intelligence. The information advantage has historically accrued only to those who can afford professional advisors, institutional research, or well-connected networks. Today, Fifsee Inc., a Frisco, Texas-based AI technology company, announces the full global availability of its platform — with 100,000+ users already active across 118 countries — bringing role-specific intelligence, FIFSCORE, and AI advisor Fia to every participant in the global real estate ecosystem, on web, iOS, and Android.
FIFSCORE: The World’s First Personalized Real Estate Intelligence Score at Global Scale
FIFSCORE is Fifsee’s proprietary personal intelligence score — and the first of its kind to operate at true global scale. A first-time buyer in Mumbai, a landlord in Dubai, a tenant in London, a vacation rental host in Bali, a commercial business owner in Singapore, a traveler relocating from Toronto to Lisbon, and a seller in Sydney each receive a FIFSCORE calibrated to their specific role, local market, financial context, and transaction stage. FIFSCORE does not deliver generic market data. It delivers your intelligence score, in your market, for your role — in real time.
118 Countries. Seven Roles. One Platform.
Fifsee is the only platform in the world that serves all seven real estate participant roles at global scale, each with a fundamentally different intelligence experience:
- Buyers — AI-powered affordability analysis, price trajectory, mortgage intelligence, school district scoring, neighborhood demand signals, and cross-border property intelligence across all major global markets
- Sellers — Listing competitiveness analysis, buyer demand signals, pricing strategy intelligence, and market timing insights calibrated to local conditions in any country
- Tenants — Rental affordability scoring, lease market benchmarks, neighborhood quality analysis, and relocation cost intelligence across the world’s most competitive urban rental markets
- Landlords — Yield benchmarks, vacancy trend forecasting, tenant demand analysis, and cross-border portfolio performance intelligence for property owners across 118 markets
- Travelers — Door-to-door travel cost intelligence, visa guidance, accommodation market data, local area briefings, and destination FIFSCORE analysis for every global destination
- Hosts — Short-term rental pricing intelligence, seasonal occupancy benchmarks, competitive positioning, and revenue optimization for hosts across every global platform and market
- Businesses — Competitor snapshots, margin intelligence, SWOT analysis, commercial zoning insights, and strategic market positioning across 35+ business categories in any country

Fia: The World’s First Role-Aware Real Estate AI Available in 45 Languages
Powering every role, in every country, is Fia — a floating AI assistant available in voice and text across 45 languages. Fia is role-aware and user-aware: she knows whether you are a buyer in Brazil, a landlord in the UAE, a business owner in South Korea, or a traveler planning a move from Canada to Portugal — and she tailors every response, recommendation, and market insight to your specific situation. For the billions of people around the world who navigate real estate without professional support, Fia is the advisor they have never been able to access.
Democratizing Intelligence Across the World’s Most Underserved Real Estate Markets
In mature markets like the U.S., U.K., and Australia, Fifsee competes on intelligence quality and role-specificity. In high-growth markets across South and Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and Sub-Saharan Africa — where real estate markets are opaque, professional advisory is expensive, and information asymmetry is greatest — Fifsee delivers something entirely new: a professional-grade AI advisor and market intelligence score accessible to anyone with a smartphone. The platform is free to download and free to get started — globally.
Get Connected: AI-Matched Professionals Across 118 Countries
Get Connected matches users to verified real estate agents, mortgage brokers, attorneys, property managers, and over 35 categories of service professionals — in any country — using AI to match by need, location, and transaction context. For users in markets where professional networks are inaccessible or expensive to navigate, Get Connected delivers qualified professional connections that would otherwise require weeks of effort and significant advisory spend.
“We didn’t build another real estate app. We built an intelligent engine that understands who you are, where you are, and what you need — and then acts on it. Every user gets a FIFSCORE — a personal intelligence score that tells them exactly where they stand in their real estate journey. That’s Fifsee.”
— Sri Varadhan, Founder, Fifsee Inc.
Availability
Fifsee is available now, free to download, across web, iOS, and Android. Users can access AI reports, FIFSCORE, market insights, and Fia from day one.
