In the projector setup planning for the Hualien Disaster Prevention Education Center, the seismic durability of the equipment ensures stable operation even in an environment with intermittent earthquakes. This prevents the projectors from shifting, lowering, or being damaged by shaking, which would otherwise impact the display effectiveness and audience experience.

To adapt to display areas with different spatial constraints, the projection equipment is designed to project large images even when stationary (or "at a short distance"), enhancing spatial utilization efficiency.

Combined with sensor-based interactive technology, this setup boosts operational learning and immersion, allowing disaster prevention knowledge to be delivered with a greater sense of presence and practical value.

At the Hualien Disaster Prevention Education Center, Optoma employed high-brightness laser projectors with a brightness range of 5,000 to 8,300 ANSI lumens, specifically designed for complex lighting environments.

These projectors maintain exceptional visual impact and clarity, even with interference from natural or artificial light sources, ensuring that the displayed content remains clear and visible even in well-lit conditions.

The high-brightness design delivers stunning visual effects, enhancing the impact and immersion of the disaster prevention education drills, allowing viewers to experience disaster scenarios more realistically.

The center primarily utilizes two types of models to flexibly adapt to various display spaces: short-throw projectors (ZU606TST, AZU830TST) and ultra-short-throw (UST) projectors (ZU500USTe).

The short-throw models are ideal for interactive experience zones or scenario simulation areas, as they minimize shadows cast by the audience that could disrupt the image. Meanwhile, the ultra-short-throw projectors can be installed very close to the wall (or "wall-mounted"), enabling the creation of large-scale immersive visuals even in limited exhibition spaces. This makes them perfect for 360-degree immersive scenes or panoramic simulations.

Regardless of the display environment, Optoma's projectors deliver a truly immersive disaster prevention education experience for visitors.

The 23 Optoma projectors deployed at the Hualien Disaster Prevention Education Center all utilize high-durability laser light source technology, offering a longer lifespan than traditional lamp-based projectors. The lampless design significantly reduces the risk of internal component displacement, enhancing seismic resistance.

Furthermore, all units are equipped with an IP5X-certified sealed optical engine, which effectively prevents dust from impacting the internal optical components. This ensures long-term, stable operation even in environments subject to earthquakes.

When an earthquake or external force causes a slight projector shift, Optoma projectors utilize built-in Auto Keystone Correction, Four-Corner Adjustment, and Lens Shift functions. These features automatically detect changes in the image and immediately adjust it to the correct position, ensuring the projection is not deformed or skewed.

Additionally, some models support Geometric Correction. Even when the projector is installed on irregular or curved surfaces, this feature allows for rapid adjustment to a precise projection screen, preventing the image distortion caused by the surface's curvature from affecting the display quality.

To address the high-seismic environment in Hualien, Optoma selected projectors with high seismic durability. This ensures the equipment can maintain stable operation over long-term use and resist the impact of shocks and vibrations.

To adapt to the diverse exhibition spaces, the project utilized short-throw (ZU606TST, AZU830TST) and ultra-short-throw (UST) projectors (ZU500USTe). These displays (projectors) are capable of casting large-scale, high-definition images within limited spaces, effectively enhancing the exhibit's immersion and interactive experience.
