Projected There are three major projection systems:

  1. Direct Projection
  • Most commonly used. Light passes directly from the projection bulb.
  • Slide projector works on direct principle of projection.
  • Direct type projectors are also k/w diascope.
  • The principle made used in slide-cum-film projector is direct projection.
  • The object in slide projector is kept between condenser & objective lens.
  • In slide projections the material to project should be kept inverted.
  1. Indirect Projection
  • Overhead projector (OHP) works on this principle.
  1. Reflected Projection
  • Only Opaque projector works on this principle.
  • The reflected projection system absorbs a great deal of light, making it mandatory to use the opaque projector in a darkened room for satisfactory projection.
  • Indirect type of projectors also k/w Epidiascope.

[B] Three-dimensional Visuals

  1. Models
  • It is 3D recognisable imitation of an object. It may be of same size, larger or smaller than the thing it represents.
  • Model is as a group contact method.
  • Types:
    1. Scale Model: The models made in correct proportion to the original object.
    2. Simplified Model: Model that roughly represents the external form of an object.
    3. Working Model: Model which shows how things function or operate.
    4. Cutway or Cross-Sectional Model: Models shows something looks inside & are particularly useful in understanding some complex phenomena.
  1. Mock-up
  • It is a 3D imitation of a thing in certain aspects only for the purpose of learning and so it may not be similar in appearance.
  • A mock-up, is a scale or full-size model of a design or device, used for teaching, demonstration, design evaluation, promotion, and other purposes. A mock-up is a prototype if it provides at least part of the functionality of a system and enables testing of a design.
