BenQ and Carl’s Place, a provider of golf simulation enclosures, have announced a collaboration featuring the BenQ AK700ST projector and Carl’s Place Curved Golf Enclosure Kit. Bundled in the Carl’s EYE XO2 Curved Golf Package, this partnership offers customers a premium golf simulation projector with a curved screen setup to deliver an indoor golf experience.
The Carl’s EYE XO2 Curved Golf Package features the BenQ AK700ST 4000-Lumen 4K short-throw laser golf simulator projector, Carl’s Place Curved Golf Enclosure Kit, and the top-selling Uneekor EYE XO2 Launch Monitor. Also included in the bundle are a projector mount and Carl’s 6×10 HotShot Hitting Mat, as well as a subscription license for GSPro golf simulation software. As the first curved screen golf setup retailing at under $22,000, the package was developed to provide users with the tools to set up an immersive golf simulation environment at an affordable price.
Designed with the requirements of golf simulation in mind, the BenQ AK700ST features 4K UHD resolution, 4000 lumens of brightness, and maintenance-free install. Its Auto Screen Fit and Quick Focus intelligent technology automates the setup process to achieve full-screen projection and seamless transitions for the chosen screen at the touch of a button. With state-of-the-art features such as a motorized lens and advanced sensors, it automatically identifies the screen size, adjusts the zoom, corrects the tilt, and ensures a sharp, perfectly focused image.
The AK700ST’s correction and warping features allow for seamless projection onto a curved screen. Curved screen setups mimic human vision to improve depth perception and offer a realistic experience, providing a panoramic, wraparound display that traditional screens lack.
A common misconception among golf simulator enthusiasts is that a curved screen setup requires multiple projectors. Not only is this not the case, but the AK700ST is uniquely suited for this scenario. Equipped with an onboard camera and motorized zoom and focus, the projector identifies the edges of the impact screen and automatically adjusts the image within seconds, ensuring an accurate setup every time.
Carl’s EYE XO2 Curved Golf Package is now available for purchase on Carl’s Place website. More information on BenQ is available at https://www.benq.com/en-us/business/golf-simulator-projector/ak700st.html.
