What can I do with it?
The camera can send the video of any object or writing to the data projector so it appears on the enormous screen. You can pivot the camera in many directions, including toward the seated area. It can zoom in on very small objects. If you want to try some advanced features, it can record images or video with audio to an SD memory card (user supplied).
What about transparencies?
You can display them using the camera without placing a light underneath. You may need to adjust the head a little to reduce glare.
What about marker board users?
The document camera can take the place of using marker or chalk boards. However, two marker boards will remain in the room for those who prefer them.
