Today we bring you a tutorial that has everything, easy to do, inexpensive and has a very positive result. CWith only our mobile phone and several pieces of plastic it is possible to create a 3D holographic projector of which you will love the result.
In this way, we are going to teach you how to make holograms with your mobile in different ways so that you surprise your friends and loved ones.
How to make holograms with your mobile using household items
Creating a homemade 3D hologram is very simple and you will only need the following:
- The transparent plastic casing of a CD or DVD (depending on your skill you will need two instead of just one)
- Graph paper and pencil.
- A cutter.
- A pen or marker.
- A Mobile phone.
The objective is to create a small prism and that when it reflects the image of the phone it creates a three-dimensional effect very similar to that of a projected hologram. First you will have to take a graph paper and on it you must draw a trapezoid of dimensions 1 cm x 6 cm x 3.5 cm.
EThis is the standard hologram, but if you want a larger one then you will have to scale the measurements and draw a trapezoid with larger numbers (for example, 2 cm x 12 cm x 7 cm).When you have drawn the template you will have to cut out the figure with scissors, and that same template is the one that you will use to draw the same trapezoid on the plastic CD / DVD casing.
Our recommendation is that remove the edges of the case to make it easier for you to work on the plastic surface. If you think that you can easily cut yourself, it is best to use a cloth and remove the edges to avoid danger. When you have drawn the trapezoid on the DVD or CD, you must cut it out with a cutter. Be very careful when doing this step as this is the most dangerous of the process and if you are not careful you could cut yourself deep. You will repeat this until you get four equal plastic trapezoids.
Now, you must join the 4 trapezoids to create a prism Now what you have to do is join the four plastic figures with tape or tape. Before doing this step, the first thing you should do is clean the plastic well so that it is as transparent as possible, and the quality of the hologram depends on this.. When you have joined all the faces, the result you will get is a small transparent plastic prism.
Look for 3D hologram videos on YouTube to use it
If you have followed all these steps, you will have your prism ready. Now you just have to search for any video that is specific to be reproduced as a three-dimensional hologram. On YouTube you will find quite a few videos of this type.
Y To be able to see the video as well as possible, you only have to have the room in the dark (the darker the better) and place the prism on the device screen.
