DIY 3D Hologram

DIY 3D Hologram Projector

Step 1:
I saw a lot of version made from cd case. I think cut a cd case is not the easiest way better to
use thin transparent plastic from the trash ;)

Step 2: #1

I saved this box from trash and riped out the plastic part of it. Keep the paper part as well it
will be used for the project later.
Step 3: #2
I made this trapeze shape from the cardboard.

The measurement:

- sort side 1 cm

- long side 6 cm

- height 3,5 cm

But you can do as big as you want the only important thing is to keep the angels on the short
side at 60°.

Draw around the shape four times on the plastic sheet.


Step 4: #3

Take a scissors and cut them out. Try to be accurate.


Step 5: #4

Cut out this 6 by 6 square from the cardboard. Take some transparent adhesive tape and stick
the half side of a 6 cm piece to each sides.
Step 6: #5

Stick all the cutted plastic pieces to the other half of the tape with long side.
Step 7: #6
Fold up two plastic trapezes and stick them together with tape. Repeate this step until you
finished with every side!

You will get a pyramid without peak.

Step 8: The End

Take your smartphone and put it to the center of the screen and start a hologram video!

I made my own but you can find a lot of better on YouTube :)

This adaptable for tablets notebooks tvs just increase the size of the pyramid!
How to make a hologram video for DIY 3D Hologram Projector

Step 1: #1

I use Adobe Premier Elements to make my video and there is an effect in it to mirror the hole
video. (Effects->Perspective->Basic 3D)

I attached it and set the preferences to:

Swivel: 180°

Tilt: -22°

Distance tolmage: 19°

The last two was default. I think it's enough to flip it with 180°.
Step 2: #2

My original video has a 1920*1080 resolution and I want to make the end result be the same.

A little math:

I named the longer side to X and If you divide 1080/1920 you get the shorter side is 0,5625 X.

That's come easy from here you have to divide the end video's height with 0,5625 X*2+1 X.

The X will be nearly 508. It's not exact but good enough for me.

So now you know the X you can count the short side as well. It's 285,75.

I made a template what I can use in Elements to scale down the original videos.

It sounds difficult but I did the math for you so now just scaling and rotating and it's done!
Step 3: #3

I imported the template in white to the program because it has a black background.

Then the mirrored video four times to different layers.


After I had just to scale and rotate everything to its own place.
