I need that photographic tool. I do not know its name or what its referred as.
Its that top with a bright light underneath it for product photography.
I think you also have the ability to raise 4 walls around it (excluding the front wall because then you would not be able to see the product and the bottom is always there).
Reminds me of the projector like thingy we used in highschool when the teacher wanted to project a transparency onto the white board.
Any idea?

For small product photography?
Do you mean a light tent (a rather small one)?
Otherwise I am stumped, and not quite sure how your highschool teacher's "overhead projector" made it into the mix.
Enjoy! Lon

well imagine this surface that is plastic, underneath the plastic is a light which illuminates whatever is on the surface. There is no direct illumination on the product because the light is coming from the bottom rather than a direct bright source.
The "tent" would probably surround this bottom I speak of.

They are called a light table or light box.

Only if you put a flash underneath ;)
From the site: "The translucent material can be rolled up "
