DLPs come in rear and front projection.
This is often referred to as "front projection".
But the finished piece of film produced on our system bears no other resemblance to standard front projection.
(The prehistoric opening of 2001: A Space Odyssey uses front projection.)
As front projection and bluescreen effects became more widespread and less costly, rear projection has been rendered largely obsolete.
Even the console TV big enough to sit on the floor, or the front projection set that many of us grew up with, are long gone for most.
Interactive whiteboards are generally available in two forms: front projection and rear projection.
However the subject placed in front of the front projection screen appears to have moved closer to the camera; thus Superman flies towards the camera.
The display design can use either front or rear projection, in which one or more video projectors are directed at the glass plate.
In rear projection (the common use case), the light passes through the glass; in front projection it is reflected.
