Yes, you can use a piece of normal white paper to display information onto a clear wall surface when using an overhead projector. The overhead projector projects the light through the white paper, allowing the images or text on it to be enlarged and displayed on the wall behind it.
To do this effectively:
-
Prepare Your Content: Print or write the information on the normal white paper. Ensure the text and images are high-contrast and easily readable.
-
Place the Paper on the Projector: Position the paper on the flat lid of the overhead projector. Make sure it’s flat and secure.
-
Project the Image: Turn on the overhead projector and adjust it to focus the image onto the clear wall surface. You may need to adjust the distance between the projector and the wall based on the size of the image you want to display.
-
Check the Visibility: Ensure the area is sufficiently dark and that the image on the wall is clear and visible to your audience.
Using normal white paper allows for easy customization of the material being projected, and it is a common method in presentations and educational settings.
