Laptop Hologram

This project is made for the TfCD course of the IPD master of Industrial Design Engineering (TUDelft).

Introduction

This instructable shows you how to make a hologram for medium sized screens, laptop and small desktop screens for instance. The model we will be making uses reflection to create a hologram image. Four images our movieclips displayed on your screen will be reflected into a holographic 3D image inside the transparent pyramid. Because of this, the hologram model only works in a dark room.

What do you need?

• Ruler
• Pencil/Pen
• Painting tape
• Plastic glue
• Snap-off blade or cutting machine
• Transparent plastic sheet (285mm x 210mm)

Draw the construction of the 4 sides of the pyramid on the plastic sheet
(We used a sheet of 360mm x 210mm so we had some margin on the sides, which are not necessary).

Cut the plastic sheet to end up with the 4 sides of the pyramid.

Use painting tape to connect the 4 sides of the pyramid, then use the plastic glue for a permanent connection.

Remove the painting tape and clean the pyramid of dust and finger prints.

Put the video on full screen and place the plastic piramid, with the small surface down, in the middle of the screen.
