Transforming a Plain Wall into a Touch Screen with Screen Paint (feat. Dongsung Elementary School)

Dongsung Elementary School faced issues with low-brightness projectors and plain walls, resulting in blurry visuals and a lack of engagement. Due to budget constraints, replacing the projector was not an option. Instead, Dark Silver Screen Paint was applied to enhance brightness and contrast, while IR sensors were added to enable touch functionality.

Have You Ever Felt a Space Was Underutilized?

Walking through schools, offices, or public spaces, have you ever thought, “This space could be used for something more creative or engaging!”

Empty walls or floors in hallways may seem underutilized, but in public spaces like schools, there’s always someone thinking about how to make them more educational, creative, or interactive.

For example, Incheon Hanbyeol Elementary School transformed a long corridor into an interactive floor screen to create a more engaging environment for students.

Today, let’s explore how Dongsung Elementary School transformed a plain wall into an interactive touch screen using screen paint.

Challenges with a Basic Projector Setup

The teachers at Dongsung Elementary School had already envisioned using a wall as an interactive, creative, and engaging space for students.

However, their initial setup—a standard projector on a plain wall— failed to deliver the intended experience due to:

Low projector brightness, making images dull and unclear

Inefficient projection surface, preventing proper media display

To fully utilize the space, they needed a cost-effective upgrade without replacing their existing low-lumen projector.

A Budget-Friendly Solution: Screen Paint Over a New Projector

Ideally, upgrading to a high-quality media wall would involve replacing the projector with a more powerful model. However, budget constraints made this impractical.

Instead, Paintpam applied Dark Silver Screen Paint, which:

Enhanced brightness and contrast without changing the projector

Maximized projection clarity by adjusting for ambient light and screen size

By carefully balancing cost and performance, the existing projector could still deliver a more vivid and engaging display without expensive upgrades.

Creating an Interactive Experience – Beyond Just a Video Wall

Simply projecting static or looping visuals wasn’t enough to transform the space. The school needed something more engaging and interactive.

🚀 How did we enhance the setup?

📌 IR sensors were integrated, allowing touch interaction on the screen

📌 Screen Paint improved brightness, making interactive content clearer

📌 Students could now actively engage instead of just watching

This upgrade turned the wall into an interactive media space that fosters creativity, engagement, and a sense of exploration.
