Answer:

An example of an early projection technology

Step-by-step explanation:

Camera obscura, often referred to as pinhole image, is a term that describes a device used as an aid for drawing, projection and entertainment around mid of 16th century. It is a device of dark box with a small hole in one wall that lets in light from one side, and project it on the other side in an upside down position. It was used for sketching, where by the tracing paper placed on the missing glass inside the folding hood, and a 45° mirror inside the box reflected the image onto the paper.

Hence, Camera Obscura is a term that describes example of an early projection technology.
