What Equipment Is Needed to Set Up an Immersive Projection Room?

1. What Types of Projectors Are Ideal for Immersive Projection Rooms?

High-quality projectors are the cornerstone of immersive projection rooms. Laser projectors are preferred due to their superior brightness, color accuracy, and longer lifespan. Brands like Epson, Barco, and Christie offer models specifically designed for large-scale immersive environments with outputs ranging from 5000 to 20,000 lumens, ensuring clear images even in semi-lit rooms. Ultra-short-throw projectors are also popular to prevent shadows and provide a seamless experience.

2. What Audio Equipment Is Necessary for an Immersive Projection Room?

Immersive projection rooms require multi-channel surround sound systems for a fully engaging experience. Systems often include 5.1, 7.1, or even 9.1 configurations with high-fidelity speakers, amplifiers, and subwoofers to cover the entire space with balanced audio. Brands like Bose, JBL, and Yamaha provide products used widely in professional installations. Additionally, soundproofing materials and acoustic panels are essential to maintain sound quality.

3. How Important Are Control Systems and Media Servers in an Immersive Setup?

Control systems and media servers are vital for synchronizing visuals and audio. Media servers such as those by Disguise or Dataton enable real-time processing and multi-projector blending. Control software like Crestron or Extron allows centralized management of all devices, making it easier to coordinate lighting, sound, and projection content, ensuring a smooth and immersive experience.

4. What Interactive Technologies Enhance Immersive Projection Rooms?

Interactivity increases user engagement in projection rooms. Common interactive equipment includes motion sensors, cameras, infrared detectors, and interactive touch surfaces. Technologies such as Kinect, RealSense cameras, or custom-developed sensors integrated with software like Unity or Unreal Engine enable gesture or touch-based interaction, creating dynamic and responsive environments.

5. What Environmental and Installation Considerations Should Be Taken Into Account?

Proper room preparation is crucial. This includes blackout curtains or controlled lighting to avoid glare, projection surface treatments (matte white walls or projection screens), and correct projector placement and calibration for edge blending and uniform brightness. Adequate ventilation and cable management systems are also essential to maintain equipment safety and performance.

event space, children's area). Example: This scene is part of the “Underwater World” zone in a children's science museum,
designed to be engaging and exploratory. 


②Visual Style / Atmosphere: What kind of visual mood are you aiming for? Please describe the color scheme, style, and any
references. it should focus solely on describing the visual aspects of the scene, supported by relevant charts or reference
images. 


③ Interaction Points Overview:List each interactive hotspot along with the effect you'd like to trigger when the user
touches or clicks the area. example: when player touch the clownfish, it will swims away with bubble trail (animation effect)
and produce the bubble sound ( sound effect requirement )

What's Immersive Projection ?

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. This technology aims to immerse the audience in a simulated environment, blurring the boundaries between the physical and virtual worlds.

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. 

How to install the projection equipment ?

1) Install the projector in a suitable position. We will provide you with a hanger, which you need to fix on the ceiling with
screws.

 

2) Connect projectors, computers and other accessories through wires.


3) After completing the above 2 steps, we will carry out the edge blending steps. Our team can complete it through remote
control.

In general, installation instructions for each project need to be specified on a project-by-project basis. The above is for
reference only.
