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

Published

on

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 AI​industry, 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.

Design Without Borders: How VakkerLight Is Redefining Global Access to High-End Lighting

Published

on

Chicago, IL, 15th April 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — There was a time when great design was tied to geography.

If you wanted access to high-end lighting, you went where it lived, Milan, Paris, New York. You worked with local showrooms, relied on trade connections, and navigated long lead times to bring those pieces into your space.

That model no longer holds.

Today, design moves globally, instantly. And companies like VakkerLight are helping redefine what it means to access, produce, and deliver high-end lighting in a connected world.

The End of Geographic Exclusivity

The internet didn’t just change how products are sold, it changed who has access to them.

Design that was once limited to architects and industry insiders is now available to homeowners, small business owners, and independent designers around the world. Inspiration travels faster. Expectations rise.

But access alone isn’t enough. The real challenge is delivering that level of design quality consistently, across borders, without compromising on materials, craftsmanship, or experience.

This is where companies like VakkerLight are setting a new standard.

Global Sourcing, Unified Vision

Modern lighting production is inherently global. Materials, components, and expertise come from different regions, each contributing something specific to the final product.

The challenge is not sourcing, it’s coherence.

Without a strong design vision and tight operational control, globally sourced products can feel fragmented. Inconsistent finishes, mismatched components, and uneven quality are common pitfalls.

VakkerLight addresses this by maintaining a centralized design philosophy while coordinating a global supply network. The result is lighting that feels cohesive and intentional, regardless of where its components originate.

Logistics as a Design Discipline

Shipping a lighting fixture is not simple. Fixtures are fragile, often complex, and require careful handling from factory to final installation.

Delays, damage, and miscommunication can quickly erode the value of even the best-designed product.

This is why logistics has become an extension of design itself. The experience of receiving and installing a fixture is part of how the product is perceived.

VakkerLight supports its global reach with regional warehousing and streamlined distribution systems, ensuring that products arrive efficiently and reliably, a critical factor for both residential customers and large-scale commercial projects.

Serving Both Individuals and Industry

One of the defining characteristics of modern lighting brands is their ability to serve multiple audiences simultaneously.

A homeowner selecting a single pendant for a dining room has different needs than a developer sourcing hundreds of fixtures for a hotel or multi-unit project. Yet both expect the same level of quality, consistency, and service.

VakkerLight operates across this spectrum, offering scalable solutions that meet the demands of individual buyers while supporting the complexity of professional design and construction projects.

Consistency at Scale

Scaling design is difficult.

As companies grow, maintaining quality becomes more challenging. Production increases, supply chains expand, and the margin for error widens.

The brands that succeed are those that build systems capable of maintaining consistency, not just in the product itself, but in the entire customer experience.

For VakkerLight, this means integrating design, manufacturing, and logistics into a cohesive operation where each stage reinforces the next.

A New Global Design Economy

We are entering a phase where design is no longer defined by location, but by access, execution, and reliability.

Consumers expect to discover a product online, understand its quality, and receive it without friction, regardless of where they are. Designers expect partners who can deliver custom or large-scale solutions across borders without compromising timelines.

This is the new standard.

VakkerLight is part of a growing group of companies meeting that expectation, combining global reach with design integrity to make high-end lighting more accessible than ever before.

Where It’s Going

The future of lighting is not just about better products. It’s about better systems.

Systems that connect design to manufacturing. Manufacturing to logistics. Logistics to customer experience.

As these systems become more refined, the gap between local and global design will continue to shrink. What will matter is not where a product comes from, but how well it is conceived, made, and delivered.

In that landscape, companies like VakkerLight are not just participating, they are helping define what comes next.

West Red Lake Gold Drills 904 Complex Hitting 215.26 grams per tonne Gold over 5.35 Metres

Published

on

We plan to keep two drills turning in the 904 Complex for the remainder of 2026, providing continuous news flow and updates as they become available

Canada, 15th Apr 2026– Global Stocks News – Sponsored content disseminated on behalf of West Red Lake Gold. On April 13, 2026, West Red Lake Gold Mines (TSXV: WRLG) (OTCQB: WRLGF) announced drill results from the Austin 904 Complex at its Madsen Mine Project in Ontario, Canada.

Situated at the bottom of Main Austin, starting at approximately 650 metres depth, the 904 Complex is a high-grade panel of mineralization, about 200 square metres, the equivalent of seven regulation NFL football fields.

This area has seen very little mining historically, leaving the main mineralized zone mostly intact. That is expected to allow for larger stopes and more efficient development and extraction from this high-grade area.

“The 904 Complex in lower Austin is steadily growing into a very important part of the future at Madsen,” stated Will Robinson, VP of Exploration in the April 13, 2026 press release. “Having only just gained access to this area for drilling in late 2025, the results received to date are highly encouraging.

“For historic comparison,” continued Robinson, “The High-Grade Zone discovery by Goldcorp Inc. in Red Lake was initially established on nine holes with a weighted average grade of 311 grams per tonne gold, uncapped, over 2.3 metres[1] – we already have multiple results received to date out of 904 that exceed these grades and thicknesses.”

Previously released 904 highlights include 11.2 metres @ 26.16 g/t gold, 3.55 metres @ 37.87 g/t gold, 7.8 Metres @ 139.45 g/t gold, 7.7 metres @ 18.31 g/t gold, 8.7 metres @ 74.70 g/t gold, 4.3 metres @ 30.16 g/t gold.

Also, 4.75 metres @ 219.73 g/t gold, 2.5 metres @ 133.13 g/t gold, 3 metres @ 148.36 g/t gold, 5 metres @ 36.06 g/t gold, 3.15 metres @ 41.90 g/t gold.

In the video below, Robinson breaks down the significance of the April 13, 2026 904 Complex drill results.

“I want to provide a little bit of background information on the news we just put out today,” stated Robinson in the YouTube explainer video. “We’re announcing some very exciting drill results from the Lower Austin area, and a new area that we’ve been defining, called the 904 Complex.”

“These results come from our definition drilling programs that are ongoing at Madsen. The holes were drilled from the 13 level in the Madsen Mine, which is at approximately 650 meters depth. The deposit was mined, historically, down to around 1,300 meters depth.”

“We find ourselves at about the halfway point,” continued Robinson. “We’re starting to tap into some high tonnage, less remnant areas of the mine. That’s one of the things about the 904 Complex that is so important. It’s essentially a 200 by 200-metre panel of gold mineralization that remains mostly intact.”

FIGURE 5. Long Section showing drill highlights from current press release in Austin 904 Complex with (grade x thickness) at ≥ 25 (g/t Au x m). Interval length denotes downhole core length. True thickness has not been calculated, but is expected to be ≥ 70% of downhole length based on intercept angles observed in the drill core.[2]

[2] Mineral resources are estimated at a cut-off grade of 3.38 g/t Au and a gold price of US1,800/oz. Please refer to the technical report entitled “NI 43-101 Technical Report and Prefeasibility Study for the Madsen Mine, Ontario, Canada”, prepared by SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. and dated January 7, 2025 (the “Madsen Report”). A full copy of the Madsen Report is available on the Company’s website and on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

“Most of the mining that we do at Madsen occurs in proximity to remnant workings and historic development,” stated Robinson in the explainer video. “Having access to a large area of un-mined mineralization will benefit us greatly. We’ve only drilled 30 meters down into the 904 complex panel. We still have roughly 170 meters of vertical extent to continue defining this high potential area.”

“We plan to keep two drills turning in the 904 Complex for the remainder of 2026, providing continuous news flow and updates as they become available,” concluded Robinson.

Exploding global debt is threatening the stability of fiat currency. Gold, unlike cash, can not be generated through government policy or financial engineering. A weakened US dollar is bullish for gold.

“The country with the largest debt—$39 trillion and counting—is the United States,” writes WRLG founding strategic investor Frank Giustra on March 23, 2026. “Interest on that debt now exceeds defense spending.”

“With over $10 trillion in U.S. debt maturing in the next 12 months and the 10-year yield approaching 4.5%, the massive $1 trillion in interest costs the U.S. absorbed last year are set to climb even higher.”

“I am quite certain that the price of gold, as measured in fiat currency, can only rise dramatically in years to come,” added Giustra.

2025 was a “ramp-up year” that saw the Madsen Mine pour 20,147 ounces of gold, sold at an average price of US$3,650 per ounce, yielding total gold sales revenue of US$73 million (C$99 million).

WRLG declared commercial production at the mine on January 1, 2026. Since then, production has continued, and the price of gold has increased from US$4,330 per ounce to US$4,750 per ounce.

The technical information presented in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Will Robinson, P.Geo., Vice President of Exploration for West Red Lake Gold and the Qualified Person for exploration at the West Red Lake Project, as defined by NI 43-101. Mr. Robinson is not independent of WRLG.
