Overhead Projection
Overhead projection refers to a method of displaying images or text by projecting light through a transparent sheet onto a screen using a specialized device. It was a go-to tool for educators and presenters in the mid-20th century due to its simplicity and ability to allow real-time annotations, but it has faded with the rise of digital alternatives like PowerPoint and smart projectors.
