ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Large-format slide projector

Have you ever watched a movie on a really big screen? It's so cool to see everything so big! A large-format slide projector is like a super-sized movie screen, but instead of showing movies, it shows pictures.

Have you seen slides before? They're like little pictures that are bigger than a normal photo, but smaller than a poster. A large-format slide projector takes these slides and makes them even bigger so that they can be seen in a big room with lots of people.

How does it work? Well, the projector shines a strong light through the slide and onto a wall or screen. This makes the slide look really big on the wall! People can sit far away and still see it because it's so big.

Large-format slide projectors are used when people need to show pictures to a lot of people at once. It can be for work, like a presentation, or for fun, like showing family vacation pictures. It's like having your own personal movie theater, but for pictures!
