Surprise Anybody! Turn Your Smartphone into a 3D Hologram Projector, at Home!

Here’s a cool techno-trick that you can use to impress just about anyone. Watch a 3D butterfly hovering on top of your smartphone, or a 3D couple dancing, a colourfully rendered heart or a gracefully swimming Jellyfish, all on the top of your phone right where you are!

While engineers out there are busy developing and perfecting their 3D holographic technology, you can create your own in-house 3D hologram projector which uses 2D videos to create a 3D effect. However, this is technically not a true hologram because a true hologram uses split laser beams to recreate a 3D object. Nevertheless, the hologram that you will create with the following method (brought to you by courtesy of the YouTube user ‘Mrwhosetheboss’) will be no less than a 3D hologram.
All you need to pull this trick is:

  •     Your smartphone
  •     Tape or super glue
  •     A transparent CD or DVD case
  •     A pen
  •     Scissors
  •     A sharp knife or a glass cutter
1. First, create a template on paper with the following shape with the given dimensions (1cm, 3.5cm, 6cm).

2. Cut out the same shape on the CD case, making a total of four shapes.

3. Stick them together.

4. Download or play any holographic video from YouTube on your smartphone. Place the object you just made on top of the screen, shut out the lights, and viola, enjoy the scene!
