Challenge

"Friends Academy Deutsch Autoworld" is located in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, and is committed to providing an excellent environment for golf instruction and practice. The academy aims to attract more customers by leveraging advanced technological solutions, while also enhancing the quality of instruction and customer experience.

Solution

The Friends Academy Deutsch Autoworld Store has chosen the Optoma AZW500 as the projector for its golf simulator, based on the following three reasons:

Firstly, to meet the long operational needs at the golf practice range, the AZW500 utilizes DuraCore laser light source technology, equipped with an IP6X-rated sealed optical engine for dust protection. This technology not only effectively prevents dust from the air but also significantly enhances the durability of the projector, minimizing maintenance needs. Additionally, the laser light source can last up to 30,000 hours in ECO mode, significantly reducing overall costs.

Secondly, the AZW500 supports a high brightness output of 5200 lumens and supports various display modes, which can present the golf simulation imagery vividly, providing a realistic hitting experience and a wide variety of scene selections, enhancing the fun and participation in practice.

Lastly, the AZW500 is compact, supports 360-degree projection, and 1.3x lens zoom, while maintaining a low operational noise level under 30dB, making it highly suitable for indoor golf practice environments.

Achievement

By using the Optoma AZW500 projector, "Friends Golf Academy" has successfully enhanced the quality of its facilities, student engagement, and practice benefits, pioneering a new way of using technology to enhance the leisure and entertainment experience.
