Turn your iPad into a low budget document camera a.k.a. visualizer

Well - low budget is quite a euphemism, if we factor in the cost of an iPad. Anyhow a lot of teachers seem to have one and use it recording their marks, taking notes and other stuff.

So why not using it as a document camera as well. Problem is the proper mount. Here is an easy solution to the problem.

It is all DIY and should be a real cheap solution.

Well done colleagues! :)

And here is my contribution to make the setup more "mobile! The publishers of this blog use a traditional wired connection to bring the camera on the projector screen.

I am referring to myself and an article of this blog. Why not using the wireless solution?

1. the Apple TV solution: Should you be blessed with an Apple TV connected to your beamer/ projector then just use airplay and display mirror on your iPhone.  WIRELESS!

2. the Reflector solution: Should you have a Macbook or PC laptop connected to the beamer anyhow, then just get the software called reflector. It is available and will give you the possibility to mirror your iPhones display on your laptop. WIRELESS!
