Here's a fun DIY hologram projector you can make at home using just your phone and some basic materials. It won’t be a true 3D hologram like in sci-fi, but it gives a cool floating 3D illusion.
π§ DIY 3D Phone Hologram Projector
π You’ll Need:
-
A transparent plastic sheet (like from old CD case, packaging, or report cover)
-
A ruler
-
A pen/marker
-
Scissors or a cutter
-
Clear tape or glue
-
Your smartphone
π Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Draw and Cut a Trapezoid Template
Make a shape like this:
Top = 1 cm
Bottom = 6 cm
Height = 3.5 cm
Draw it on paper first, then trace it onto the plastic.
2. Cut 4 Trapezoid Pieces
Use scissors or a cutter to cut out 4 identical transparent trapezoids from your plastic sheet.
3. Join the Pieces
-
Tape or glue the 4 pieces together at the sides to form a pyramid without a top.
-
The small ends should be at the top, pointing inward.
-
You’ll end up with a transparent funnel shape.
4. Place It on Your Phone
-
Go to YouTube and search for:
π3D hologram video for phone
(You'll find special videos with 4 mirrored images.) -
Turn off the lights.
-
Place the pyramid in the center of the phone screen with the small opening on top.
✨ Watch the Magic!
You'll see a 3D floating image appear in the middle of the plastic pyramid — like it’s hovering in the air! πΈ
It works because the mirrored video reflects on each side, and your brain combines them into one floating image.
