If you want to see ghostly figures floating above your screen, then all you need is a homemade plastic pyramid and an old CD cover. Making an iPhone hologram projector is a fun and easy DIY project that doesn’t require much effort. Here’s how you can make one yourself.
Grab some paper, a pen, a ruler, a sharp craft knife, an old CD cover, and some tape. Draw an isosceles trapezoid on the paper and use it as a template to cut the plastic. Repeat the process until you have four identical pieces and arrange them to form a pyramid. Use small amounts of clear tape to secure them together, leaving a small gap between the pieces so that the tape isn’t too tight. Finally, download a 3D hologram projector app from the App Store, place the pyramid on the screen, turn off the lights, and watch as a phantom appears to float above your phone.

How to Make an iPhone Hologram Projector in Detail
To make your own hologram pyramid, you need to draw an isosceles trapezoid on the paper, with the bottom measuring 6 cm wide and the top measuring 1 cm with the 2 sides measuring 5 cm each. Once you have drawn the template, place it under the clear part of the CD cover and trace it onto the plastic. Use a craft knife to cut out the shape along the lines you just traced.
Do this four times, so that you have four identical pieces. Arrange the plastic pieces to form a pyramid, leaving small gaps between each panel to allow for tape. Use small pieces of tape to join the panels together, taking care not to make them too tight.
When you have finished, launch a 3D hologram projector app on your iPhone and place the hologram pyramid onto the screen. Turn off the lights and watch as a phantom teapot, spaceship, or anything else you have downloaded, gracefully floats above your screen.
