Summary:

The advent smartphones promised a future in which a single pocketable device was the extent of our digital needs, however reality has proven to be much more complex. The modern digital native requires an entire ecosystem of devices - watches, phones, headsets, controllers, pens, and earbuds - that are specialized to our dynamic lives. The only problem is that they all require mobility, power, and the ability to wirelessly sync on the go. We envision a future, where a single device, the Atlas, like the Titan himself, is able to carry the entire Galaxy ecosystem in a secure, portable, and smart case. The Atlas is a contemporary briefcase, housing all your devices, with a smart battery wirelessly routing power to the devices that need it most, while also  serving as a bluetooth syncing portable hard drive. It is truly the hub of our growing galaxy of gadgets

The design centers around an incredibly strong stainless steel chassis serving as a conduit for power emanating from the heart of the device - a multi axis hinge that contains slots for removable battery packs, keeping your devices charged and safe from all external forces. The chassis becomes an armature to accept customizable case panels and the interior organizational components that are built specifically for the galaxy line. 

A simple aluminum grid, secured to the chassis, receives modular “pillows” customized to each of your galaxy devices, which serve as inductive charging beds. These pillows can easily be removed from the case, swapped for different devices, and stand alone beautifully as bedside charging stations without the briefcase. 

The Atlas is truly a 21st century briefcase, equipped with GPS so you are alerted when you leave its proximity, a fingerprint sensing lock, and a Bluetooth file hub so you always have your files synced, even when you are offline. Wherever you go, your Atlas carries your Galaxy, and carries it beautifully, smartly, and with unprecedented power.
