Atlas-Belt

Backpacks can often get heavy and painful after carrying it for a while. Heavy electronics like laptops and tablets, books, water, etc., are sure to add heft to a backpack. Through this project I attempt to design a harness to reduce the load that a backpack exerts on the shoulders of a wearer. Atlas-Belt is a portable solution that redistributes the load from your shoulders to your hips, ensuring a  more balanced and even load.
