Description

Home Entertainment System {Home Entertainment System}

The present invention relates to a home entertainment system, and more particularly, to a home entertainment system that enables users to simultaneously enjoy virtual reality rounding and movies, music, and games for golf in a limited space in the room.

In recent years, with the development of computer systems, the spread of Home Theater, which enables users to watch movies at home, is gradually increasing. The home theater is equipped with a screen, a projector (projector), a speaker, a DVD or a CD player in a room such as a home, so that a movie can be directly watched indoors without going to the theater.

These home theaters require relatively high initial installation costs because each component is provided as an expensive product, and the home theater installed at such a cost burden is less efficient for simply watching a movie. That is, since the components of the home theater may be compatible with other electronic devices, the home theater may be provided to perform various functions in combination with other electronic devices. For example, recently, the home theater may provide music listening and accompaniment functions. In addition, it was provided for the role of family karaoke.

However, the home theater to which the music function is added is merely a simple modification of the function originally implemented in the home theater, and the need for more active use of the home theater is emerging.

Accordingly, as proposed in order to more actively use the above-described conventional home theater of the present invention, an object of the present invention is to provide a home theater with various additional functions such as a game and combine such a home theater and a virtual reality golf rounding system. To provide a new home entertainment system that allows you to enjoy golf, movies, music, games, etc. through one system.
