Debuting at AWE USA 2025, Remix Reality covers the technologies powering the next wave of computing-immersive interfaces, physical AI, and machine perception

LONG BEACH, Calif., June 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Remix Reality, a new independent media company built for the spatial computing era, officially launches today at AWE USA 2025. Founded by recognized pioneer and author Tom Emrich, the publication is dedicated to covering the technologies powering the next wave of computing, including immersive interfaces, physical AI, simulated worlds, and perception systems. As digital experiences move from screens to space, Remix Reality aims to decode the platforms, people, and paradigm shifts redefining our lives.

“Spatial computing isn’t just another tech trend; it’s enabling machines to see, reimagining how humans connect, and redefining the very fabric of reality,” said Tom Emrich, founder and editor of Remix Reality. “As the technologies powering spatial computing have accelerated, it became clear there was a gap. While other media companies cover individual innovations, the bigger picture was missing. Remix Reality was created to connect the dots. We want to help readers see what’s happening, why it matters, and where it’s all going.”

Tom Emrich brings over a decade of experience in spatial computing, with deep roots at the intersection of media, technology, and community. He was one of the earliest journalists to cover wearable technology, launching a blog that was later acquired by a global media company. He went on to found We Are Wearables, one of North America’s first and largest wearable tech communities, which played a pivotal role in shaping the early ecosystem.

Emrich has been an active early-stage investor in AR startups. He has also held senior product leadership roles at Niantic and Meta, where he helped shape developer ecosystems to enable next-generation XR experiences.

As guardians of pay-per-view, Joe Hand Promotions remains wired in, evolving in its 54th year

On the night of a major boxing match or UFC card in America, Joe Hand Jr. might have as many as 1,000 people fanned out across the country doing investigations for him.

Hand isn’t part of the FBI, or someone overseeing a spying enterprise. Instead, he’s a second-generation, third-party pay-per-view distributor running one of the biggest companies in that cog of the machine that is American sports business.

Joe Hand Promotions acts as a broker between major sports leagues and broadcasters on one hand and thousands of commercial establishments — including chains and mom-and-pop bars — across America on the other. Those establishments pay JHP for the rights to show major sports events the company represents.

Founded in 1971, the Philadelphia-based company is a time-tested fixture in a bruising sector that is becoming more crowded. But it has lengthy relationships in the sport, including what UFC confirmed is the only vendor relationship that still exists from the year the Fertitta brothers and Dana White bought the company in 2001.

JHP mainly delivers its signals to establishments through DirecTV, but it also works with Dish and some cable companies and it’s starting to experiment more with streaming as the sports media industry adjusts to the generationally different technology.

Joe Hand Promotions

Headquarters: Feasterville, Pa.

Key executives:
Joe Hand Jr., president; Jason Joyce, vice president; Mike Tedesco, chief financial officer

Number of employees: Around 50

Specialty: Third-party commercial pay-per-view distributor

Without disclosing specifics, executives from JHP say that business remains brisk and they are happy with how the company is performing. The ever-evolving nature of technology and rise of streaming has brought about new revenue opportunities for PPV distributors, but it’s also led to new forms of piracy that eat into potential earnings.

“It’s of paramount importance,” David Shaw, UFC’s executive vice president and head of international and content, said of JHP’s efforts to prevent piracy at commercial establishments. “Most of our [commercial bar] buyers aren’t just in it to buy one fight here, one fight there; they’ve made an investment in UFC to be a destination for UFC programming, which basically means they’re showing 12 pay-per-views a year. If we can’t look that customer in the eye and give them comfort that we’re doing all that we can to protect the value of their transactions [by not allowing nearby bars to air the fight without paying for it], then we’re doing a disservice to our entire customer base, and it all kind of falls apart.”

On top of its relationships with leagues such as the UFC, JHP has deep ties on the commercial establishment side with the likes of Buffalo Wild Wings, Twin Peaks, Hooters and Dave & Buster’s; sportsbooks and casinos such as Caesars, MGM Grand and FanDuel; broadcasters such as ESPN and DAZN; and with nearly 10,000 independent sports bars, according to Tim McManus, senior director of content and partnerships for the company.

It distributes about 2,000 broadcasts a year and recently signed an extension with ESPN to distribute its ESPN+ for Business line of channels. That includes UFC Fight Nights but also international soccer, hundreds of college football and basketball games, and NHL, golf and soccer coverage.

Origins and relationships

Company founder Joe Hand Sr. transitioned from being a police officer in Philadelphia to investing in 1967 in the Cloverlay Corp., which managed the career of the late heavyweight champion Joe Frazier, before he later founded JHP in 1971.

Broadly speaking, the company says its business model can vary from straight revenue-sharing deals to other arrangements in which it pays a league or media company for the rights and then keeps all the fees from establishments. Pricing for the establishments is based on their fire-code occupancy.

Competitors of JHP include EverPass Media and G&G Closed-Circuit Events. While conceding that the sector is becoming more competitive, JHP believes it has differentiators that will keep it as one of the top players, namely its longevity and efforts to work closely with the different sides on objectives such as protecting the IP of leagues and events, and helping bars and casinos market and get the most out of their purchases.

Shaw, the UFC executive, said the UFC has been a repeat customer over 24 years because of the level of detail and work ethic that JHP puts into its relationships; that it knows combat sports well; and that it has local ties that help grease the wheels for the increasingly global property to remain rooted in places throughout the U.S. For example, he said, UFC research has shown that one of the top three reasons people buy PPVs is seeing marketing materials for the events, such as posters at bars. That points to why JHP says it is a priority to work with bars on letting them know the materials available to them.

“They’re in the trenches, they’re on the front lines — these are guys who care about the mom-and-pop store as much as they care about Buffalo Wild Wings,” Shaw said.

Given their longtime dependency on PPV as a revenue stream, combat sports operators list piracy as a major issue. It’s also a touchy topic among fans, with some saying that price-gouging by the promoters has fueled piracy. Former Showtime Sports President Stephen Espinoza, now at TV programming consultant, estimated to industry publication Boxing Scene last year that, on the low end, piracy was stripping the network of 30% of its potential buys.

JHP is not interested in cracking down on the average fan at home using an illegal stream, and is instead focused on commercial establishments — which takes things back to the 1,000 investigators.

“Talk about like a pebble in your shoe or rock in your shoe that you’re walking around with — I hate dealing with it,” Hand Jr. told SBJ. “But to be honest with you, in my opinion, piracy is probably a bigger issue now than it’s ever been.”

On the night of fights, Hand Jr. says, he’ll hire investigative companies that get access to the list of bars in a given city that have legally bought a PPV. If the investigators see an ad on social media or elsewhere about a bar saying it will have a PPV but is not on the list, “he’ll come out the night of the event, do a surveillance on the property and then report back to us that, ‘This is the information that they have,’” Hand Jr. said.

“A lot of times I get calls from bar owners that are in Philadelphia — and I’ve lived here my whole life — they’re like, ‘Joe, you’re suing me,’ and I’m like, ‘Hey, what can I tell you, you guys didn’t …’ [and they’ll say back,] ‘I wasn’t here, my manager thought it was the right thing to do, he brought his laptop in, they told me what happened, we really didn’t mean to do it,’ and I’ve got to wrestle with all that and deal with it,” Hand Jr. said. “But it is an enormous part of our business because there’s two entities that I’m trying to service here: The content partner, he wants me to be the sheriff of piracy … and the second one is I’m protecting the people that legally bought it.”

Changing with times

From the days of closed-circuit television to the streaming age, Hand Jr. says the company has always been able to adjust with the times. McManus said the company’s current day-to-day point of contact for UFC is only the fourth person the fighting property has dealt with in that position over 24 years, which he pointed to as the sort of customer service that has built its reputation.

Joe Hand Jr. continues to build on the relationships established by his late father as the company faces increased competition and adjusts to the rise of streaming. The two are shown here celebrating the company's 50th anniversary in 2021. The elder Hand died in 2024.

One way JHP has adjusted with the times is getting on board with Jake Paul, the professional boxer who is carving out a more serious career in recent years. While still regarded by some as part of the novelty boxing sub-sector of the sport, Paul generates sizable business. For his fight versus Mike Tyson at AT&T Stadium last November, JHP set a record for the most locations sold for a combat sport event, with 6,200 commercial establishments, according to McManus.

JHP’s business was the topic of a Reddit thread from r/BarOwners last year before that fight, as one person asked for feedback on whether he’d be able to air it without DirecTV.

“If you show the fight without paying Joe Hand, you are taking a HUGE risk,” one person responded. “I have been in business for over 35 years. I know what I’m talking about. Do not listen to anyone in here telling you a ‘secret way.’ Also don’t believe Netflix says it’s OK. It’s not up to them. Joe Hand can and will sue you, and you will lose.”

Shaw went as far as to call piracy an “existential threat” to the UFC, “so the demonstration that we consider copyright law to be very important and take it very seriously is another sort of important optical thing to have in the public eye.”

For Hand Jr., it’s all in a day’s work as he deals with a changing landscape. And guards the company’s turf.

“I feel like this is one of those periods of change that we’re bringing to the marketplace,” Hand Jr. said. “But very proud of where we are after 54 years, and excited about the future.”

A Web3 Gaming Platform Driven By AI That Prioritizes Product Over Token

Marbella, Malaga, 14th July 2025, Serial entrepreneur and global strategist Zak Manhire has announced Mint.io, an innovative Web3 gaming technology platform with artificial intelligence. In a field where hype cycles and speculative tokens are the coin of the realm, Mint is taking a radically alternative approach: make something real that people actually want to use, and let the product lead the way.

Zak Manhire, who has a career history in international brand-building and emerging tech companies, says he feels the Web3 space has lost sight of what real adoption really means.

Launching a token is not launching a product,” Zak Manhire says. “Real value comes from real use — and we’re creating experiences that users love before they even know that there’s crypto behind it.”

Gaming as the Easiest Onramp to Web3 

Mint.io is simple and has an emotional hook. People join to play games, not to speculate on tokens. Thanks to smart design and smooth interactions, through Seamless players build up rewards, level up, and interact with the live digital economy, without any previous blockchain knowledge required.

“We want people to stop overthinking crypto. We want them to play, to be involved and to enjoy,” Zak Manhire says. “And while they do, the token economy works unobtrusively, in the background — creating value that is real, not just marketed.”

AI as a Growth Engine, Not Just an Industry Buzzword

While traditional game studios take months to construct and iterate, Mint uses AI to shrink the length of production cycles. Narrative, art assets, and token utility mini-games of under 10 days can now be delivered.

This rapid deployment model allows Mint to support weekly releases, dynamic quests, and dynamic experiences while being tightly integrated with the reward and engagement loops in the platform.

“Every new game builds in the ecosystem – retention mechanics, reward mechanics, token burns, access rights,” Zak Manhire says. “And with AI as our engine, we’re scaling faster and smarter than anyone else in the category.”

Challenging the Web3 Status Quo

Zak Manhire is not in pursuit of viral headlines or speculative token charts. His goal with Mint has always been long-term value creation, not short-term wins. According to him, the most dangerous lie of Web3 currently is the idea that an increasing token price is a success.

“If you turn the price into the product, you’ve lost,” he cautions. “We’re not here to spin hype. We’re trying to build something sticky, sustainable, and that people actually enjoy. Something that lasts.”

With Mint.io, Zak Manhire is providing a strong contrast to the Web3 industry hype machine – the launch screaming and vapourware. It’s not promises and roadmaps, it’s playable content, real-time innovation, and utility-first mechanics — all backed up by a quiet confidence in product-led growth.

About Mint.io
Mint.io is an AI-powered Web3 gaming platform focused on seamless user onboarding and real token utility. Founded by Zak Manhire, the platform combines rapid game development, intelligent reward mechanics, and a user-first philosophy to deliver a compelling entry point into the decentralised economy.
