DIY Smartphone Holograms

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Tutorial Shows You How to Make a Hologram with Your Phone

— August 5, 2015 — Art & Design
British YouTube personality 'Mrwhosetheboss' recently released a DIY tutorial that shows users how to make a hologram with their smartphone. While the idea of projecting a holographic image from your phone may sound complex, the tutorial is easy enough for anyone to follow.

To make a hologram with your smartphone, you will need a sharp knife, a ruler, an old CD case, scissors, tape, a pen and some graph paper. To begin, draw a trapezoid on the graph paper. Then break the edges off an old CD case. Use the trapezoid template to mark the designs on the CD case then cut out four pieces using a sharp knife. Stick the trapezoid pieces together by using tape or an adhesive glue. Then put the DIY projector on top of your smartphone and load a hologram specific video. Begin playing the video and watch a series of holograms magically appear in the middle of the device.
