Education is vital to a child’s development – and the advancement of society. Today, forward-thinking nations place great value on the role of technology in education, as it provides new engaging and interactive ways to enhance learning experiences, and fuel the imaginations of eager young minds.

One of the nations leading the way is Thailand; with Bangkok’s Imaginia Playland. This is no ordinary playground. Not a swing, roundabout or climbing frame can be seen. Instead, the area is packed with cutting-edge technology that provides children with innovative and exciting ways to make learning a fun experience.

Imaginia Playland helps children to learn through technology-infused spaces; providing experiences through activities that spark inner creativity. Featuring 19 play zones, the attractions cover a variety of subjects, including art, literature, music and strategic thinking.

High brightness 3LCD projectors are utilised across the activities. Adding a sense of awe as they project brilliant images onto surfaces, they help provide fun, interactive and collaborative opportunities.

At Imaginia Townhall, one of the playground’s two main applications, Epson 3LCD high brightness projectors deliver engaging images onto a large panorama curve screen – enabling storytelling by immersing children in their imaginations.

The other main application, Wonder Car, uses mapping technology to allow children to draw digital doodles on a life-size projected car.

By creating giant-scale visual spectacles, blended from the projected images of multiple projectors in unison, Epson 3LCD high brightness projectors deliver experiences way beyond audience expectation.

Commenting on the effectiveness of the Epson 3LCD projectors used at the playground, Ms Muanfun Sirikorn Kunawong, Project Director of Imaginia, said: “The projected images can be displayed on various surfaces and playing equipment, encouraging children to display their creativity. They are also free to collaborate with other children in their drawings, to build their imaginations together.”

General Manager of Epson Thailand, Mr Yunyong Muneemongkoltorn, added: “From the smiles of the children, we appreciate the success of Imaginia in using Epson’s technologies in a magnificent way.”
