So we all know that 3D Printing is awesome on its own but what could be next for 3D?

Holograms… the answer is 3D holograms.

I can hear you screaming in anticipation for this, but here at Ink n Toner UK, we know a way that you can turn your smartphone into your very own 3D hologram projector! Cool, right? And all you need is a few simple things you can find around the house:

  • Clear cellotape
  • A pair of scissors
  • A ruler
  • A pen
  • A clear A4 piece of plastic
  • Your smartphone

This is how you can do it:

  • Draw a 6x6cm square in the middle of your A4 sheet of plastic
  • On the outside of the top line make a notch 3 cm in (in the middle of each line)
  • Measure up 4cm and make a dot
  • Measure ½ cm out from that dot and draw a cm line ( ½ cm on each side of the dot)
  • Connect the end of the line you just made to the corner of the original square
  • Repeat steps 2-6 for each of the sides of the square
  • Cut out the shape
  • Fold along the original square lines (be careful here) and you should see a pyramid starting to take shape
  • Use the cellotape to tape the sides of the pyramid together (it doesn’t have to be tight so don’t worry if the sides aren’t completely touching all the way down
  • Turn it upside down
  • Take your smartphone and turn the brightness all the way up
  • Find a holographic video from youtube
  • Place your smartphone in landscape mode
  • Right at the beginning of the youtube video there will be an X – place your pyramid upside down, with the hole at the top in the centre of the X
  • Get to eye level, turn the lights off and enjoy!
