Twenty-nine companies in South Korea have captured up to 90 percent of the market share in golf simulators. GStory is one of them.

"Playing golf using stimulators is a popular leisure activity in South Korea, just like going to karaoke or batting centers," says Lee Sang-woon, Board Chariman of GStory.

"In China, we want to do the same. We are targeting high-end costumers and want to expand the market."

Images provided by the 5.4m wide and 3m tall screen is vivid enough to simulate real golf courses. With sensing technologies, players can enjoy golf to the fullest, whatever the weather.

"There are more than 10 companies like us in China. We want to compete with them with our technology in this high-end market. Luxury to us is culture, and we want to be a part of it," says Lee.

The simulator screen can also be used to enjoy films, karaoke and games at home.
