Abstract
Apparatus for demonstrating the use of a computer terminal comprises a projection module supported on a standard overhead projector. The projection module includes a frame which is adapted to rest on an illumination window of the overhead projector. A transmissive liquid crystal display is mounted in the frame parallel to the illumination window such that an image on said liquid crystal display is projected by the projector. A transparent touch screen is also mounted in the frame overlaying the liquid crystal display. By means of a stylus, a user touches the touch screen and thereby designates desired text and/or images for subsequent display. Coupled to the decoder is a computer which retrieves the desired text and/or images which are then transmitted to a display driver. The aforesaid apparatus is most suited to demonstrate a computer terminal which has a touch screen for selecting text and/or images for display.
