BenQ Shows a Football Simulator at Computex That Analyzes Every Kick of the Ball

At Computex 2026, Taiwanese company BenQ decided to do more than just show off another high-refresh monitor. They brought something to the show that’s hard to even imagine inside a standard booth: a full-blown football simulator that needs nearly an entire room to work.

If you thought one big screen was enough for gaming, BenQ is ready to flip your idea of immersion. The whole point is to move beyond a flat image and completely surround the player with a virtual field. In an exclusive comment to VGTimes, a company rep shared details of the engineering solution:

As explained at the booth, the setup is pretty clever: three walls form a single space (sort of a 270‑degree corner), and seven high‑brightness projectors deliver a seamless image with no visible seams. That said, according to reports from the show floor, the demo at Computex actually used six short‑throw BenQ LH860ST projectors — two per wall. The seventh unit might be for the ceiling or the floor, or maybe it’s a placeholder for an even more complex configuration down the line.

The simulator’s real killer feature is how it analyzes your play. The system is packed with 3D radars and cameras. You kick the ball, and the neural network tracks not just the flight path in real time, but also the speed, spin, and accuracy of the strike. What’s especially important for a sports trainer — you don’t have to wear any sensors on your body. Unlike VR headsets or motion capture systems, here you just stand on the turf and kick the ball. The AI figures out your movement model on its own and hands you personalized tips to improve your technique.

It’s too early to say this kind of attraction will end up in every living room — seven projectors aren’t exactly budget-friendly for everyone — but the tech is clearly aimed at sports clubs, high‑end simulator centers, and possibly training facilities for football academies. BenQ also hints that they’re ready to adapt the system not just for sports, but for large‑scale interactive shows and bar entertainment like match broadcasts with playable elements. Speaking of which, Netflix recently announced a new installment of the FIFA football simulator.
