Holographic Viewer

Create a holographic viewer to view videos as holograms on a phone or tablet

Google Doc Template (click "Use Template" for a copy)
Directions and template http://bit.ly/hologramtemplate
Print your own on laser printer with overhead transparency sheets - Google Drawing template http://bit.ly/pyramidtemplate
Cut edges straight and even so it’s level - fold and tape
Works best in low light with device at full brightness
Can be larger for use on an iPad, if you keep the ratios the same
“It works on the principle of Pepper's Ghost. Four symmetrically opposite variations of the same image are projected onto the four faces of the pyramid. By principle, each side projects the image falling on it to the center of the pyramid. These projections work in unison to form a whole figure, which creates a 3D illusion.” https://maker.pro/custom/projects/diy-hologram/
After it is created
- Dim the room lights
- Turn up the brightness on the phone to maximum
- Hold the phone so the screen is face up (or place it on a table)
- View one of the YouTube hologram videos - full screen
- Place the viewer in the center of the video - with the "top" or small end in the center of the screen (there may be an "X"
- Move your head so you're viewing the video from the side
