Can you project a 'reversed' image with a projector?

Question

What i want to ask is if it is possible to project an image with a projector but in the other direction than normally. normally with a projector the image or text you are projecting is facing the projector. can you make it so it faces the same direction as the projector is facing?

Thanks!

Answer 1

It all depends on the projector. Most will have the feature so that it can be used as a rear projection projector. Most will have the option to flip the picture so that the projector can be used upside down (ceiling mount), right side up (shelf mount) or mirror image (rear projection). You will have to check the projector's specs to see if it can do the different modes.

Answer 2

Yes, you ought to be able to adjust the projector's settings to show the image as is or a mirror image.  Since some projectors will be placed behind screens, most are made with the ability to reverse the images.
