overhead projectors

Classroom image casters

Overhead projectors are devices that project images from transparent sheets onto a wall or screen, once standard equipment in classrooms and conference rooms.

A light source beneath a glass surface shines through the transparency, and mirrors direct the enlarged image forward.

The teacher wrote on the overhead projector while lecturing.

Largely replaced by digital projectors and presentation software.
