What Factors Should Be Considered When Choosing an Interactive Projector?
When selecting an interactive projector for professional use, several key factors need to be evaluated to ensure the best performance and user experience. Below are the critical aspects to consider:
Brightness and Lumens
- Lumens: The brightness of a projector is measured in lumens. For interactive use, projectors should have at least 3,000 lumens to ensure clear visibility, especially in well-lit environments. (Source: ProjectorCentral)
- Ambient Light: Consider the ambient light in the room where the projector will be used. Higher lumens are required for rooms with more natural or artificial light.
Resolution and Image Quality
- Resolution: Higher resolution, such as 1080p or 4K, provides sharper images and clearer text, which is crucial for interactive applications. (Source: Epson)
- Contrast Ratio: A higher contrast ratio enhances the depth and detail of the projected image, making it easier for users to engage with the content.
Interactivity Features
- Touch and Pen Input: Ensure the projector supports touch or pen input for interactive use. Multi-touch capabilities can enhance collaboration.
- Software Compatibility: Check if the projector is compatible with the software and platforms your team uses, such as Microsoft Windows or interactive whiteboard software.
Connectivity and Integration
- Ports and Connectivity: Look for projectors with multiple input options (HDMI, USB, etc.) to connect various devices seamlessly.
- Network Capabilities: Consider projectors with network connectivity for remote management and content sharing across devices.
Durability and Maintenance
- Lamp Life: Projectors with longer lamp life reduce maintenance costs and downtime. LED projectors typically last longer than traditional lamp-based projectors. (Source: LG)
- Warranty and Support: Choose a projector from a reputable manufacturer that offers comprehensive warranty coverage and customer support.
Size and Portability
- Size: Consider the physical size of the projector, especially if it needs to be moved between locations.
- Weight: Lighter projectors are easier to transport, which is essential for professionals who need flexibility in their setup.
Cost and Budget
- Initial Cost: Weigh the initial cost against the features and performance offered. Sometimes, investing more upfront can lead to long-term savings.
- Total Cost of Ownership: Factor in maintenance, lamp replacement, and other operational costs to understand the full financial impact over time.
By carefully evaluating these factors, professionals in the interactive projection industry can make informed decisions that enhance their work environment and productivity.

Immersive projection refers to a technology that creates a captivating and all-encompassing visual experience for viewers by projecting images or videos onto large surfaces, such as walls, floors, or even entire rooms.

What's the application of Immersive projection ?
It can be used in various venues, such as art exhibition, entertainment venues, educational institution, Wedding hall /Banquet/Bar,Yoga Studio and so on. It often involves advanced projection techniques, multimedia content, and interactive elements to engage and captivate the audience's senses.
What about the wall/floor material for the projection？
It’s recommended to choose a light-colored material with minimal reflectivity—pure white or light grey works best. the
common material is cement & plaster board
For optimal projection results, the surface should be free of any patterns or textures, as the projector will display content
directly onto it.
There are no specific material requirements; you may use any commonly available material in your local market, as long as it
meets the above conditions.
Rapidly Rotating Bouncing Sphere is an interactive space where participants jump on rotating spheres. As they step on it, the spheres surface will show special interactivity
Jumping on spheres of the same color in succession causes them to pop, releasing light particles. The more consecutive jumps, the greater the reward—caterpillars appear, and eventually, all spheres of that color burst, filling the space with light and even more caterpillars.
Indoor interactive floor projections display dynamic themed videos on the floor, commonly used in venues aiming to enhance brand influence or attract foot traffic, such as restaurants, hotel corridors, and brand car retail stores.
By using projectors and compatible software, the interactive content is projected onto the floor, encouraging engagement between people and the projected visuals. A single 5500-lumen indoor floor projector can cover an area of 5 m × 3 m. Typically, each project will use at least 3 units to ensure broad coverage and optimal visual effects.
