What is a document camera / visualizer / Ladibug?

Document Cameras, sometimes called visualizers / digital presenters or Ladibugs (which is a brand name) can be used to project any object (similar to the old OHPs people may have used). 

Instructions and training can be found on the Teaching Learning and Development website http://www.sussex.ac.uk/tldu/technology/equip/handouts

Features:

• Use to display an object / document  
• Can be used without logging onto the PC
• May be accessible via a desktop icon which allows you to see the image in a separate window on the PC, enabling the image to be displayed side by side with a presentation, web page etc. Look for an icon showing the camera model.
• Use a sheet of paper and pen as an alternative to a whiteboard
• Many cameras can store images which can then be saved as a file and uploaded

(Specific information will be displayed in the room but generally the output from these devices is displayed when doc cam is selected on the desk/wall control panel.)
