document camera

Page display device

A document camera is a device that captures and displays real-time images of physical objects, documents, or demonstrations onto a screen or monitor.

It functions like an overhead projector but uses a digital camera instead of transparencies: The teacher placed the worksheet under the document camera so everyone could see.

Common in classrooms and presentations for showing books, student work, or hands-on activities to a group.
