 - Identify Visual and Auditory Output Device Characteristics
Output Device to the cell next to the appropriate characteristic
1- -- Monitors ---LED is an LCD display that uses LED backlighting. LED has lower power
consumption than standard LCD backlighting, so the panel can be thinner, lighter,
brighter, and have better contrast.

2- --- Projectors ----DLP stands for Digital Light Processing. DLP uses a spinning color
wheel with an array of mirrors. Each mirror corresponds to a pixel and reflects light
toward or away from the optics, creating an image of up to 1024 shades of gray. The
color wheel then adds the color data to complete the image.

3- -- VR Headsets They may have a variety of sensors including motion, external visual
positioning, camera(s), motion tracking, accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer.
Resolution and refresh rates vary.

4- -- AR Headsets --------These usually do not close off ambient light to users, allowing
them to see their real life surroundings.

5- --- Printers -----------These all have hardware that must be maintained, and most also have
software, in the form of drivers, that must be kept up to date.

6- --- Speakers --------Most computers and mobile devices have audio support either
integrated into the motherboard or on an adapter card. Audio support includes ports that
allow input and output of audio signals.

7- -- Headphones ----These may be wired or wireless. Some are Wi-Fi or Bluetooth-enabled.
