(EXPERIMENT) Lego/Smartphone Holographic Projector









This experiment was inspired by a participant in the interactive media unit at QCA. The goal was to create a holographic projector, using lego and a mobile phone.

To begin this project you will need the following:

-Thin Plastic (can just be old packaging)
- A ruler
-Tape (clear)
- An equilateral triangle to trace
- Scissors
- Permanent Marker 
- A screen (smartphone).
- Lego

step 1

Using a pen and a piece of graph paper, make the following rhombus shape and cut it out with scissors. The dimensions should be 1 x 3.5 x 6 cm.



step 3
placing the plastic ontop of the template mark and cutout this shape 4 times

























Step 3
Join these pieces together using clear tape, until it looks something like the pic below



step 4
Select a holographic specific video on your mobile phone and place the plastic ontop.


step 5
For this project I choose to create a base out of lego and have the screen facing downward (you dont need to do this for the project to work. BUT by doing it you will be able to use this in daylight. Otherwise you will need to dim the lights for it to work.

  

step 6
place your phone on top of this rig and play the holographic video and enjoy.
