Challenge

The display requirements for golf simulators are far more demanding than typical home entertainment setups. When simulating ball strikes, the projected image must offer a wide field of view within a limited distance, while preventing distracting shadows during a player’s swing. Brightness, contrast, and color accuracy are crucial — only by precisely rendering the depth of the fairway, the texture of the turf, and the shifting light of the sky can a realistic sense of presence be achieved.

The simulator area at Zhonghe Sports Center is located within a multipurpose indoor venue, where complex lighting conditions and significant ambient light interference pose major challenges to projector brightness and image stability. As a public facility with high daily usage and extended operating hours, the projection equipment must also deliver durability, efficient heat dissipation, and low maintenance costs to ensure consistent long-term performance.

At the same time, the simulator display must synchronize with swing sensors, ball-speed radar, and image recognition systems. This requires the projector to deliver low latency, stable output, and high color accuracy to reflect every swing and ball trajectory accurately. Given the tight space, variable lighting, and heavy operational load, selecting the proper projection solution is key to creating an immersive golf experience.

Solution

Facing the challenges of limited space, complex lighting, and high-frequency operation at the Zhonghe Sports Center simulator area, Optoma ZU606TST stands out as the ideal solution. Its short-throw laser projection design enables a 100-inch display from only 1.7 meters away, overcoming space limitations and preventing shadow interference during swings, ensuring smooth and natural motion for players.

To handle inconsistent indoor lighting and strong ambient brightness, the ZU606TST delivers 6,300 lumens and true-to-life color performance. Whether under artificial or natural light, the projected visuals remain bright and detailed. Fairway slopes, turf textures, and ball landing directions are displayed with clarity, providing coaches and learners with a near-real course experience.

Considering the center’s heavy daily usage and long operating hours, the ZU606TST features a laser light source lifespan of up to 30,000 hours, significantly reducing maintenance costs and downtime while maintaining stable performance under continuous operation.

For system integration, the Optoma team collaborated with the simulator provider to fine-tune projection angles, aspect ratios, and color calibration, ensuring perfect synchronization between visuals, swing feedback, sensor detection, and audio output. The moment the projection system turns on, players are immersed in a realistic course atmosphere and enjoy a new level of smart sports experience enabled by technology.

Achievement

The Zhonghe Sports Center project demonstrates how a high-quality projector can redefine the way a space is experienced. Optoma ZU606TST delivers highly detailed visuals and stable performance, transforming a simple indoor practice room into a professional, entertainment-ready golf simulation venue. It attracts not only newcomers taking trial courses but also serves as a popular hub for golfers to gather, train, and interact.

According to user feedback, the ZU606TST delivers exceptionally realistic imagery with extremely low latency, allowing a natural and fluid connection between swing motion and ball-flight feedback — making learners feel as if they are on a real golf course. This not only enhances immersion but also significantly improves the accuracy of coaching in motion analysis and interactive training. 模擬器室內實景

The value of Optoma projection technology lies not only in image quality but in elevating spatial experience through immersion and interactivity. A golf simulator is the perfect example of how technology, entertainment, and an active lifestyle can merge. With precise imaging and stable output from a short-throw laser projector, businesses, communities, and educational institutions can build a professional-grade simulation environment even in limited spaces.

With continuous innovation in visual technology, Optoma helps various venues strike a balance between efficiency and aesthetic appeal — achieving seamless integration of sports and technology. Golf simulation is no longer exclusive to private clubs; it is now accessible to communities, schools, and organizations, enabling more people to stay active and discover new ways to lead a healthy lifestyle through technology.
