Elevating fun and interactivity with the Epson EB-PU1008WNL Projector.
Funtopia Carrum Downs envisioned taking their interactive ball game system, “MultiBall,” to the next level.

To achieve this, Funtopia sought to upgrade their existing Panasonic PT-EZ590 projector to a solution that could provide higher brightness, durability, and reliability.

- Enhance Visual Experience: Utilize the 8,500 lumens brightness and advanced features of the Epson projector to deliver vibrant and immersive visuals that elevate the gameplay experience.
- Improve Durability and Maintenance: Implement laser projection technology to extend the projector’s lifespan to 20,000 hours, reducing the need for frequent lamp replacements and ensuring consistent performance.
- Optimise Installation and Integration: Install the Epson projector with a short throw lens to ensure precise projection and seamless integration within the existing MultiBall setup and space constraints.

From dull to dazzling: upgrading to 8,500 Lumens transforms Funtopia's visuals.
The existing Panasonic projector, with its 5,400 ANSI Lumens brightness and limited lamp life, fell short of meeting Funtopia’s dynamic requirements. Frequent lamp changes not only disrupted the gaming experience but also posed maintenance challenges. Funtopia needed a solution that could deliver exceptional performance, consistent brightness, and extended usage hours without compromising on quality.
Funtopia turned to Vision One Technologies for a comprehensive projector upgrade. After considering both the throw distance and total image size requirements, recommended the Epson EB-PU1008WNL 8500lm WUXGA Large Venue 3LCD Laser Projector with ELPU03S Short Throw Lens. This highly versatile 8,500 lumens installation projector pairs seamlessly with Epson’s existing lens family to deliver bright, true-to-life images in a wide variety of environments: from visitor attractions to lecture theatres, museums to meeting rooms. The high lumens EB-PU1008W offers WUXGA resolution with 4K enhancement, HDR and advanced installation features.
This choice not only addressed the brightness gap but also introduced the advantages of laser technology.
Sharper, brighter visuals transform MultiBall into an unforgettable gaming adventure.
The upgrade not only met Funtopia’s technical requirements but also elevated the MultiBall gaming experience. The captivating projection quality adds a new layer of excitement to the game, making each moment truly unforgettable.
