AI Startup HUUCH Completes Foundation of AI Full-Body Motion Products and Game Content Platform

NEW YORK, Feb. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — HUUCH, an emerging AI startup in the interactive entertainment space, today announced the completion of the foundational build of its product and game content platform. The milestone marks a significant step in the company’s mission to redefine family entertainment through full-body, AI-powered interactive play, and sets the stage for the upcoming market launch of its first core product.

The story behind HUUCH begins at home. In many households, families share the same living room and the same evening, yet remain absorbed in separate screens. This quiet separation, though common, has gradually replaced shared experiences with parallel ones. HUUCH was formed around a simple but often overlooked observation: physical proximity is among the most direct ways to build emotional connection. From this starting point came a guiding question: could motion play become a way to bring families back together, not by adding another screen, but by encouraging movement, laughter, and shared moments?

This question shaped HUUCH’s approach to both technology and content. Rather than designing games for individual players with controllers and steep learning curves, HUUCH focused on lowering the barrier to participation and expanding the definition of who a game is for. The result is a family-oriented platform where children and parents can take part together, regardless of age, gaming experience, or physical skill level.

At the center of this platform is HUUCH Box, the company’s first flagship product. Designed as a plug-and-play home gaming device, HUUCH Box is powered by proprietary 3D skeletal tracking and posture-sensing technology. The system requires no wearable devices and no handheld controllers. Instead, players use natural body movements to control on-screen characters, achieving real-time, one-to-one Full Body Motion Mapping that transforms the body itself into the controller. This approach enables a more intuitive and immersive experience, allowing users to step directly into the game world.

HUUCH Box made its public debut at CES 2026, where it received positive feedback from attendees for its accessibility, technical performance, and family-friendly design. The reception at CES reinforced the company’s belief that full-body interaction can serve as a powerful alternative to traditional, screen-centric gaming experiences.

Beyond the hardware, HUUCH places equal emphasis on game content and value-driven design. The platform offers a diverse portfolio of games spanning adventure, sports, dance rhythm, and action-based play. Games support both solo experiences and multiplayer formats for one to four players, encouraging cooperation, friendly competition, and shared achievement within a single session.

Narrative structure, character design, and progressive challenges are integral to the content strategy. Through these elements, the platform aims to help children develop resilience by trying again after failure, courage by facing new challenges, and empathy through collaboration and shared goals. The emphasis remains on active participation rather than passive viewing, aligning physical movement with emotional engagement.

Currently, HUUCH Box and its accompanying content ecosystem have completed core development and have been tested in a variety of real household and social settings, generating encouraging feedback. The product is scheduled for official launch in the first half of the year. The platform is designed for ongoing growth, with plans for monthly content updates to continuously expand the range of family-friendly experiences.

“Playing together strengthens connection,” says Ryan, CEO of HUUCH. It invites families, partners, and the broader industry to take part in a new chapter of interactive entertainment, one that begins at home, starts with movement, and turns shared play into shared meaning.

Documentary series ‘My China Story’ shines spotlight on US martial artist Jake Pinnick


BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 14 February 2026 – The People’s Daily has launched two seasons of the documentary My China Story, featuring 10 foreigners who have pursued their careers in China. Season one features tech entrepreneur Nikk Mitchell, US zoologist Kevin Messenger, US ceramist Matt Watterson and Argentinian motorcycle designer Rodrigo Álvarez. The newly released season two of the series puts the spotlight on Neil Schmid, a US expert on Buddhist studies and Dunhuang; US martial arts lover and Taoist Jake Pinnick; French spelunker Jean Bottazzi and Russian vlogger Anton Butov, all of whom have shared their distinctive life paths in China.

image-1.jpeg

My China Story gives the world a window into foreign residents who have lived across different regions with a wide range of career choices. This documentary series has gained a significant number of overseas viewers on a variety of social media platforms, including Youtube, Tiktok and X. Among all the episodes, the viewers have shown the most interest in Pinnick, who was born in the 1990s in the US, and came to China following an obsession with Chinese martial arts and Taoism studies. This contrasting background has made viewers more eager to learn why and how he lived in China ‘s Wudang Mountains for over a decade.

2025 marked a remarkable year for Pinnick. In April, he received China’s Foreign Permanent Resident ID Card — the “Five-Star Card” — and in May, he was named an Honorary Citizen of Shiyan City at an inaugural ceremony. These honors stand as powerful testaments to his decade-and-a-half journey of cultural immersion.

Pinnick’s story began in 2010 when, inspired by kung fu movies, the then-20-year-old arrived at the foot of the Wudang Mountains with zero martial arts experience and no knowledge of the Chinese language. He carried only a dictionary and a handwritten note that read, “I want to go to the Wudang Mountains.” Emerging from the morning mist, he found his purpose the moment he saw a master leading disciples in practice.

The path from novice to master has been paved with rigorous discipline. Pinnick mastered Tai Chi and various weapon techniques. Beyond the physical movements, he delved into the spiritual heart of China, studying the Tao Te Ching and learned to play Taoist music. During his toughest moments of exhaustion and homesickness, it was his “kung fu family” that gave him the strength to persevere.

Over the past 16 years, Pinnick has not only transformed personally but also witnessed China’s rapid development. He vividly remembers that reaching Wudang once required a slow train to Yibin; today, the journey is defined by high-speed rail and an expanding airport now welcoming international travelers.

Today, Pinnick serves as a vital cultural bridge. Through social media and live performances, he shares the wisdom of Wudang with a global audience. “I originally came for martial arts,” Pinnick reflects, “but I stayed for the culture and history.” Guided by his master’s philosophy that “Kung fu knows no borders,” Pinnick continues to demonstrate that martial arts is not about conflict, but about inclusivity and connecting a diverse world.

As Electrification Penetrates, How JETOUR Stands Out with “Hybrid + Off-Road”?

WUHU, China, Feb. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — With new energy vehicles accelerating their penetration, there is another pivotal question: How would electrification truly empower mobility? Faced with this challenge, JETOUR responds with a systematically architected hybrid mobility solution—anchored in the “Hybrid+ Off-Road” track. Built around PHEV technology, it integrates multi-terrain capability to deliver a full-domain mobility solution for complex road conditions. Today, grounded in this technical framework, JETOUR has formed a clear PHEV product lineup, including the T1, T2, and the G700, achieving full coverage from mainstream to high-end markets.

Electrification Reshapes Power: Much Stronger, Precise, And Flexible

In traditionally acknowledge, off-road meant large displacement engines. While in the electrification era, however, power output is no longer a crude measure of displacement. It becomes more precise and better adapted to diverse demands. The GAIA Architecture of G700 exactly represents this shift. Under the PHEV framework, it features a high-performance Super Hybrid system, combines a dedicated 2.0TD hybrid engine with a 2 DHT and a 210kW P3 motor—together delivering a combined maximum output of 665 kW. The engine and motor work in seamless coordination to deliver strong and efficient output. Electric motors respond instantly, enabling power delivery at the next level—10 milliseconds. Another advantage of PHEV is flexibility. Depending on road conditions, the system can switch driving modes. The dedicated large-capacity hybrid battery, co-developed with CATL, supports pure electric driving for short urban commutes, effectively reducing energy costs. For long-distance travel, it enables combined engine-motor operation, delivering exceptional range and driver confidence. It adapts easily to city roads, long-distance travel, and off-road terrain. In the electric era, off-road power is not just stronger, it is smarter and more controllable.


XWD Intelligent Four-Wheel-Drive: The Core of Hybrid Off-Road

If PHEV addresses the challenge of balancing power and efficiency, then the XWD fully automatic intelligent four-wheel-drive system sits at the core of JETOUR’s “Hybrid+Off-Road” solution. JETOUR’s new-generation XWD system integrates “7+X” intelligent driving modes, including a quick-switch “X Mode.” Through a full-vehicle sensor network, it automatically detects terrain and enables multi-domain coordinated control—seamlessly integrating powertrain, chassis, and body systems. Sand, snow, mud, or rocks—each condition is met with the optimal setup. As a result, Off-road driving no longer relies on experience only: electrification and intelligent coordination lower the barrier to off-roading.


Electrification Redefines Premium and Comfort

Unlike the conventional off-road image defined by sheer ruggedness, JETOUR’s “Hybrid+Off-Road” approach introduces a new dimension of experiential evolution. Electric driving is inherently quiet, with the overall NVH performance improved significantly. Its Power output is smooth and linear, enhancing comfort in daily commuting and long-distance travel. Furthermore, the electrified platform provides the increased computing power and system stability required to support smart cockpits and advanced driver-assistance features. This enables off-road vehicles to deliver not only formidable terrain capability, but also a premium, high-tech experience. Large interactive displays and multi-scenario driving assistance systems make everyday use more intuitive and effortless. Powered by electrification, off-road capability no longer comes at the expense of comfort. Instead, it achieves a refined balance between performance, premium quality, and intelligent technology.

A System-Level Strategy: From Mainstream to Flagship

Through its distinctive “Hybrid+Off-Road” approach, JETOUR has established a clear product layout. The T1 PHEV and T2 PHEV meet the needs of city driving and light off-road scenarios. The flagship G700 takes a step further in power, structure, and intelligent control, representing the brand’s technological strength in the high-end hybrid off-road segment. Behind these models is a deeply integrated platform architecture. It unites the hybrid system, high-strength body structure, and intelligent XWD control. Mechanical performance and electric intelligence work as one, constructing a continually growing technical base. This is not a breakthrough born of a single model, but the mature output of a system-level capability.

As electrification reshapes the industry, JETOUR builds its foundation on PHEV and XWD intelligent four-wheel-drive, further elevated by the GAIA platform. Electric power, off-road strength, and refined comfort come together in a unified technical path. From power and control to product layout, JETOUR has built up a systematic technical path. From T1 PHEV and T2 PHEV to the G700, this lineup spans mainstream to premium markets and gives solid technical meaning to the “Travel+” philosophy. In the diverse exploration of electric off-road mobility, JETOUR has carved out a path that is both distinctive and extensible.
