ViewSonic has announced a partnership with Friends Golf to enhance the realism of indoor golf simulation through its high-brightness laser projection technology. The collaboration brings a more immersive, one-stop virtual golfing experience to customers. Taiwan’s first Friends Screen flagship store has introduced an AI-powered golf simulation system licensed by Korea’s Kakao VX, paired with the ViewSonic LS740HD projector to deliver crystal-clear visuals and accurate real-time ball trajectory feedback for improved training precision.
Clear, High-Contrast Images for Realistic Play
The LS740HD projector, used in the Friends Screen system, offers 5,000 ANSI lumens of brightness and a high native contrast ratio, ensuring detailed image clarity even in well-lit indoor environments. With a dedicated golf color mode, it faithfully reproduces the textures of fairways and greens. Integrated with the AI system, the setup captures and displays real-time swing and shot data, helping users refine their technique with greater accuracy.
Compact Design Meets Energy Efficiency
Built with ViewSonic’s next-generation laser light source, the LS740HD is 35% smaller in size than previous models, improving transportability and installation flexibility. It also reduces power consumption by nearly 50%, supporting energy savings and helping operators control long-term operational costs. The projector’s 360-degree orientation support and keystone correction features make it adaptable to a variety of venue layouts, helping to optimize space and facility flow.
Shared Commitment to Innovation
According to Kwangsoo Ryang, CEO of Friends Golf, the partnership is built on a mutual commitment to quality and innovation. “By combining Korea’s advanced golf simulation technology with ViewSonic’s high-performance display solutions, we’re delivering a more realistic and satisfying swing experience. We look forward to expanding this collaboration to bring immersive sports simulations to a broader audience.”
Advancing Virtual Sports Experiences
Liang Guangzhu, General Manager of ViewSonic Taiwan, emphasized that this partnership reflects the brand’s dedication to delivering complete immersive solutions. “The LS740HD’s high brightness, resolution, and flexible installation options make it ideal for simulation venues that demand visual excellence. It also enhances the practical and interactive aspects of virtual sports.”
As interest in virtual sports continues to grow, ViewSonic is focused on improving the interactivity and responsiveness of its display technologies. According to reports from Grand View Research and Straits Research, both the global virtual sports market and the Asia-Pacific demand for golf simulation systems are expected to experience significant growth. In response, ViewSonic will continue advancing its display technology and collaborating with partners to deliver diverse, next-generation virtual experiences.
