WaterField Designs Introduces Versus Gaming Sling, a Dual-Compartment Sling for Two Handheld Gaming Devices

Published

on

Handcrafted in San Francisco, the Versus Gaming Sling is designed to carry two handheld gaming devices, separating a primary console from a second device, accessories, or everyday essentials in two purpose-built compartments. The structured sling protects larger handhelds while enabling two-device carry in a compact, low-profile form suited to gaming and everyday use.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — WaterField Designs today introduced the Versus Gaming Sling, a compact sling bag designed to carry handheld gaming consoles such as the Valve Steam Deck, Nintendo Switch 2, and ASUS ROG Ally, along with accessories, everyday essentials, or a second device. Developed in response to customer requests for a gaming case that could carry two consoles, the sling features a dual-compartment layout: a padded rear compartment for a primary device and a front compartment for a second handheld, additional gear, and daily carry items. Handcrafted in small batches in WaterField’s San Francisco workshop, the new gaming sling combines structured protection, organized storage, and a refined, low-profile silhouette suited to both gaming and everyday wear.

“Customers told us they were carrying more than one device and trying to fit everything into cases that weren’t designed for two devices,” said Gary Waterfield, company founder. “The Versus gives the primary console a fully protected space, while the front compartment stays flexible for a second device, accessories, or everyday gear. The strap detaches so the body works as a standalone case, whether carrying one device or two.”

As handheld gaming expands across platforms, users increasingly carry multiple devices to access different game libraries. Valve’s Steam Deck helped establish a new category of portable PC gaming, followed by systems such as the ASUS ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go, while Nintendo Switch devices and dedicated retro handhelds continue to serve distinct ecosystems. Each platform supports different titles, prompting gamers to carry more than one device or travel with additional accessories. At the same time, hands-free carry has become more common across commuting and travel, with sling silhouettes gaining traction for their balance of accessibility, organization, and understated design. The Versus Gaming Sling reflects these shifts, combining dedicated device protection with flexible storage in a compact format.

Design and Materials

The rear compartment functions as a dedicated gaming device case, lined with soft padded material that cushions the console on all sides. Two interior padded panels sandwich the device to protect the screen while doubling as storage for game cards and other flat items. Closed-cell foam panels reinforce the front, back, and base, helping the sling maintain its structure while absorbing impact.

The front compartment is designed for flexible use and features WaterField’s gold lining for improved visibility. Three stretch-mesh pockets and two open pockets organize chargers, cables, and controllers, while also accommodating everyday items such as a wallet, keys, and earbuds. The compartment can hold a second handheld, with additional space for accessories or everyday essentials, depending on device size. An external zippered pocket on the front panel keeps frequently accessed items such as a phone within reach.

Material options include ballistic nylon or waxed canvas paired with full-grain leather accents. Custom metal hardware and water-repellent zippers add durability and weather resistance while maintaining a restrained aesthetic.

Changan Group Unveils Its In-house Developed ADAS — SDA Pilot

Published

on

By

CHONGQING, China, June 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At the 28th Chongqing International Auto Exhibition, Changan Group showcased its full brand lineup including CHANGAN NEVO, CHANGAN DEEPAL and AVATR at Hall N8, and officially launched its self-developed Advanced Driver-Assistance System, SDA Pilot.

At the press conference, Zhu Huarong, Chairman of Changan Group, stated: “Changan will work together with partners and users worldwide to make ADAS better, more practical, and more accessible, protecting every journey with smart technology.” It is announced that the CHANGAN NEVO Q06 will come standard with SDA Pilot across all trim levels and hit its domestic market in the second half of 2026.

SDA Pilot Takes the Spotlight: Three-tier Safety Defenses Upgrade the ADAS Experience

As Changan’s latest technological achievement in smart mobility, SDA Pilot breaks the boundaries of traditional physical safety and establishes three comprehensive safety defense systems covering physical well-being, mental comfort and emotional interaction.

The entry-level SDA Pilot Pro comes standard with LiDAR, capable of identifying obstacles in low-light conditions such as at night or in tunnels two seconds faster than the human eye. Supported by the globally leading SDA Central Ring Network Architecture, the system cuts response time by an additional 150 milliseconds. SDA Pilot Max, leverages over 20 million high-quality real-world driving data segments for training, delivering exceptional perception and predictive capabilities to confidently navigate complex, high-frequency commuting scenarios. The top-tier SDA Pilot Ultra is integrated with the VLM (Vision Language Model), which greatly enhances the vehicle’s environmental perception and enables interactive advanced driver-assistance functions, turning the vehicle into an intuitive travel companion. In the future, an active driver incapacitation protection function will also be introduced to safeguard driving safety at the first moment.

While continuously evolving its ADAS user experience, Changan remains committed to its safety bottom line, clearly reminding: “Driver assistance is not autonomous driving. Drivers are still required to take on the core responsibilities of real-time monitoring and taking over control at any time.”

Advancing the “1445” Global Strategy: 17 Years of Intelligent R&D Build Solid Safety Foundations

Changan Group lives by the tenet of “Intelligence defines Changan.” As a core component of the “1445” Global Strategy that underpins four transformation priorities (The four priorities refer to: intelligent mobility, electrification, a unified ecosystem, and globalization), intelligent mobility stands as the primary driving force for Changan’s upgrading. The company is committed to building a world-class auto group with global competitiveness and independent core technologies, aiming to rank among the world’s top 10 automobile brands by 2030. The launch of SDA Pilot marks a landmark achievement of this strategy in the advanced driving-assistance sector.

Behind this technological breakthrough lies a solid intelligent foundation built by Changan over 17 years. Since establishing its intelligent R&D team in 2009, Changan has forged ahead in uncharted technological territories and built the China’s only national key laboratory dedicated to intelligent vehicle safety technology — CHANGAN SDA LAB. The lab supports round-the-clock global collaborative testing with more than 400,000 virtual simulation scenarios.

Over the past five years, more than 2,000 Changan engineers have completed over 5 million kilometers of real-road tests across Chongqing’s notoriously complex road conditions, covering 185 typical driving scenarios. Rich field experience has been embedded into the system, which keeps evolving based on user feedback and forms the unshakable safety strength of SDA Pilot.

Empowered by intelligent technologies, Changan continues to accelerate its global footprint. To date, the group has established 22 overseas manufacturing bases with an annual capacity of 350,000 vehicles, and 1,124 overseas sales outlets, covering 118 countries and regions, with 41 global models launched. In 2025, Changan’s overseas sales reached 637,000 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 18.9%.

Since the start of 2026, Changan has made successive moves in its globalization strategy: launching the Vast Ocean Plan 2.0 during the AutoChina 2026 in Beijing, establishing four core principles: long-term development, localization, systematization, and responsible ESG practices; and more recently, partnering with the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) to become the Official Global Partner of the Portugal National Football Team, using sports as a bond to deepen global user connections and brand engagement.

Kakunin Announces Cryptographic Compliance Shield for Google Gemini and OpenAI Agent Ecosystems

Published

SaaS Compliance Leader Launches First-Class SDK Integrations for Google Antigravity, OpenAI Swarm, and OpenAI Assistants API to Meet Strict MiCA and EU AI Act Standards.

LONDON, June 13, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Kakunin, the leading compliance infrastructure platform for autonomous AI agents, today announced the release of first-class SDK integrations for Google Antigravity SDK, OpenAI Swarm, and the OpenAI Assistants API.

Autonomous agents are executing high-value, real-world tasks—but without strict boundaries, they represent a massive security risk,” said Palash Bagchi, Founder, at Kakunin.

As organizations move autonomous AI agents from sandboxes to production, securing the tools they run has become a critical operational hurdle. The new integrations allow developers to cryptographically secure and audit agent actions in real time, meeting the strict requirements of upcoming regulations like the EU AI Act and MiCA.

Preventing Agent Drift at the Tool Layer

Instead of relying on prompt engineering or system instructions—which are susceptible to jailbreaks—Kakunin secures agent tool execution at the cryptographic layer:

Pre-Flight Scope Verification: Validates that an agent possesses the required permission scope (e.g., trade.execute, file.write) before executing local code.Active-Agent Enforcement: Dynamically halts execution if the agent’s underlying X.509 certificate has been revoked or suspended.Tamper-Evident Auditing: Automatically logs session starts, prompts, responses, tool successes, and error anomalies.

Ecosystem Compatibility out of the Box

The new releases bring seamless, code-first integrations to the industry’s leading agent frameworks:

Google Antigravity SDK: Hook-based runtime protection that automatically secures Gemini-powered tool workflows.OpenAI Swarm: A lightweight class wrapper (KakuninSwarm) that dynamically gates multi-agent handoffs and task executions.OpenAI Assistants API: A polling-loop helper (handle_assistants_requires_action) that streamlines safety checks and tool output formatting in a single call.

Beyond these core OpenAI and Google environments, the new releases also extend Kakunin’s cryptographic shield to the broader agent development community. Out-of-the-box templates and shims are now available for LangChain (KakuninToolGuard), LlamaIndex (KakuninFunctionToolGuard), CrewAI (KakuninCrewAgent), and AutoGen (KakuninConversableAgent), alongside native middlewares for Next.js API routes and raw client libraries for Go, TypeScript, and Python.

“Autonomous agents are executing high-value, real-world tasks—but without strict boundaries, they represent a massive security risk,” said Palash Bagchi, Founder, at Kakunin. “By bringing cryptographic X.509 validation directly to Google’s and OpenAI’s agent loops, we are giving developers the peace of mind to deploy agents in highly regulated environments like fintech and healthcare.”

Availability

The new SDK integrations are available immediately:

Python Package: Available on PyPI via pip install kakunin.Playground Notebooks: Developers can test the integrations in 1-click via the official OpenAI Cookbook and Google Gemini Cookbook.Reference Samples: Available on the public Kakunin Samples Repository.
