Just a short throw to the perfect image. The new revolutionary WT610 short throw projector from NEC has the world's shortest throwing distance so that the presenter and audience can move about freely in front of the screen without obstructing the image. The WT610 can be positioned right up against the wall in places where space is limited or in informal situations where people are not sitting while watching the presentation, for example, exhibitions, live events, press launches etc.

The WT610 is the perfect fit for tight cubical office spaces, classrooms and retail environments where there is limited space and obstacles to the view. Business meeting rooms have become smaller and while normal front projectors require a throw distance of feet, the WT610 can achieve up to an 80" screen display in less than 18 inches. In retail settings, shelf space is at a premium and the WT610 with its short throw distance, vivid graphics and video display can enhance customer interaction without reducing the merchandising display area. In a classroom environment, the projector can be moved to the front of the class giving the teacher more freedom to interact with the students without worrying about stepping in front of the projected image.
