Magic lanternThe magic lantern, also known by its Latin name lanterna magica, is an early type of image projector that uses pictures—paintings, prints, or photographs—on transparent plates, usually made of glass, one or more lenses, and a light source. Because a single lens inverts an image projected through it, as in the phenomenon which inverts the image of a camera obscura, slides are inserted upside down in the magic lantern, rendering the projected image correctly oriented.
Slide projectorA slide projector is an optical device for projecting enlarged images of photographic slides onto a screen. Many projectors have mechanical arrangements to show a series of slides loaded into a special tray sequentially. 35 mm slide projectors, direct descendants of the larger-format magic lantern, first came into widespread use during the 1950s for slide shows as home entertainment, and for use by educational and other institutes.

In the overhead projector, the source of the image is a page-sized sheet of transparent plastic film (also known as "viewfoils", "foils", "acetate" or "transparencies") with the image to be projected either printed or hand-written/drawn.VideoVideo is an electronic medium used for the recording, copying, playback, transmission, and display of moving visual images and pictures, with or without accompanying audio.
