What is a "projector"?
A projector is a device used to display images or videos onto a large screen or surface. It works by shining light through a lens or digital system to project the image onto a surface. Projectors are commonly used in settings like movie theaters, classrooms, and presentations to show visual content to a larger audience. They can handle various types of media, including films, slides, and digital files, and are valued for their ability to produce large, clear images that are easily visible to many people.
