Waterfield Introduces Industry’s First Custom Backpack for the Apple Vision Pro and Accessories

Published

on

WaterField Designs introduces the first purpose-built backpack for the Apple Vision Pro, in time for Apple’s Vision Pro International Release. WaterField’s innovative Backpack for Apple Vision Pro protects and comfortably transports the Vision Pro and its accessories, as well as the auxiliary devices that improve its ease of use and productivity — a MacBook Pro, a Magic Keyboard, a trackpad, and a gaming controller.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 4, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — San Francisco high-end bag and case manufacturer, WaterField Designs, introduces the bespoke Backpack for Apple Vision Pro, an innovative backpack designed to carry and protect the entire Vision Pro ensemble and the supporting devices that make Apple’s new spatial computer more convenient and productive — a 16-inch MacBook Pro, a Magic Keyboard, a Magic Trackpad, and more.

We set out to create a specialized Vision Pro backpack that carries the Vision Pro along with the auxiliary devices users need to use the device most effectively and efficiently.

One custom compartment cradles the Apple Vision Pro and its accessories, and another sports two built-in sleeves for a laptop and a keyboard, with additional space for personal items. The entire Backpack for Apple Vision Pro is protected by impact-resistant foam and soft padding, making it ideal for professionals, travelers, and hobbyists who wish to carry their Vision Pro mobile office safely and comfortably.

“Customers told us that the typing precisely with their Vision Pro was difficult and that to be truly productive, they connect the headset to other Apple devices — their Mac, keyboard, and trackpad,” said company owner, Gary Waterfield. “So, we set out to create a specialized Vision Pro backpack that carries the Vision Pro along with everything else they’d need to be effective and efficient. The result is an innovative backpack with excellent protection, easy access, and creative features all wrapped in a stylish, professional look.”

Tailored for individuals who transport the Vision Pro to and from work or on their travels, the Backpack for Apple Vision Pro offers a comfortable, elegant solution suitable for any setting. The modular backpack makes the most out of every inch of space and protects the Vision Pro on all sides. A padded, removable, middle shelf divides the pack into two independently accessible compartments. Firm foam protects the bag’s front, back, bottom, and sides and helps the Backpack for Apple Vision Pro keep its shape and stand upright. 

The lower section of the Vision Pro backpack forms a highly padded bunker for the Vision Pro and accessories with padded pockets and pouches designed to protect the computer and keep it stable. A padded “hammock” supports the Vision Pro headset (with headband attached) off the bottom of the bag. A padded “hatbox” with Ultrasuede® ZEISS Optical Insert pockets sits between the computer and headband to hold accessories and to keep the Vision Pro snugly in place. A padded pocket protects the front of the Vision Pro and holds the battery, extra headband, power adapter, cables, and Magic Trackpad. Two removable accessory pouches, tailored to fit on either side of the “hammock,” stow additional items while providing further protection and stability for the Vision Pro.

The backpack’s upper compartment includes access to a padded, built-in MacBook Pro laptop sleeve, a padded keyboard pocket, a secure zippered pocket (with a hidden AirTag pocket inside), and space for additional personal items such as lunch or a light jacket, or tech equipment such as a handheld gaming device and accessories. Each of the two main compartments is independently accessible via smooth-gliding waterproof zippers.

Flexible carrying options – ergonomic shoulder straps with moisture-wicking mesh padding, a leather-lined handle, and a wheeled suitcase passthrough — enhance convenience on the train, in the office, and at the airport.

Firm also earns “strong category leader” status for Energy and Equity Trade Surveillance Solutions in new Chartis Market Quadrants report

CHICAGO, Dec. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Trading Technologies International, Inc. (TT), a global capital markets technology platform services provider, has earned the number 12 spot in the Chartis Buyside Platforms 2024 ranking of the top 50 providers of buy-side platforms and technology. The report released this month showcases the leading players in financial infrastructure and highlights providers delivering essential services and tools – including trading networks, market data, prime brokerage services and more – to buy-side market participants. The ranking, which Chartis called a testament of the “commitment to delivering exceptional value and innovation” to that community, provides insights into how the companies are shaping the industry with advanced solutions in asset management, risk assessment and operational efficiency.

Separately, in Chartis’ just-released Market Quadrants report, which provides a detailed evaluation of key providers offering advanced surveillance solutions tailored to the unique needs of the energy and equity markets, TT achieved “strong category leader” status for both energy and equity trade surveillance solutions. In both categories, TT received a four-star rank for “Industry Leading Platform Capabilities.” Of particular note, TT earned “industry-leading” four-star rankings across all measures in the equity surveillance category, including analytics and modeling, pre-trade reporting, post-trade reporting, data infrastructure and database management, and data visualization and ease/speed of access capabilities.

TT CEO Keith Todd said: “With a long history of service to the sell side, we have been working diligently to grow our appeal to buy-side market participants, and we’re incredibly honored to have earned in short order a number 12 ranking on a cultivated list of the top 50 service providers in the buy-side sector. It’s a great accomplishment that our broadening of products, asset classes and services available on the TT® platform – including our expansion from futures trade surveillance to a powerful multi-asset offering – are already achieving industry-leading recognition across important measures.”

Handling over 2.5 billion transactions this year, the TT platform connects to more than 100 global exchanges and liquidity venues across a growing number of asset classes. The platform delivers advanced tools for trade execution and order management, market data solutions, analytics, trade surveillance, risk management and infrastructure services to the world’s leading sell-side institutions, buy-side firms and exchanges.

Buy-side participants leverage a wide range of TT tools to meet their trading needs, including a comprehensive suite of advanced execution algorithms, algo design and deployment tools, Autospreader and APIs. Through Abel Noser Solutions, a TT company, market participants employ a wide range of sophisticated transaction cost analysis (TCA) products and services across global equities, foreign exchange, futures, fixed income and options.

In June, the firm launched TT Trade Surveillance, a multi-asset trade surveillance solution combining new multi-asset coverage and dozens of new configurable models to supplement the machine learning-driven models from TT Score, the company’s first-generation trade surveillance platform. TT Trade Surveillance provides enhanced trade surveillance capabilities to a wide range of asset classes, including futures, equities, equity options, fixed income and foreign exchange (FX). The system has also recently added a new, innovative way to identify cross-product manipulation, where users can input correlated instruments directly into the user interface to create a single synthetic instrument, and utilize the machine-learning spoofing models to identify patterns of spoofing activity across multiple order books.

With this recognition, TT has now been honored globally and regionally 14 times this year for the TT platform, trade surveillance capabilities, algorithmic trading solution, TCA tool, execution management system (EMS), order management system (OMS) and market data services.
