How to Create Your Own Phone Projector
With the continuous advancement of technology, its no longer necessary to have an expensive projector to enjoy movies, photos, and presentations on a big screen. In just a few easy steps, you can create your own DIY phone projector with materials available right at home. This article will guide you through how to build a phone projector in a simple and cost-effective manner.
Materials:
- Shoebox
- Magnifying glass
- Cutter or scissors
- Black tape
- A pencil
- Phone holder
Step 1: Preparing the Shoebox
The shoebox will serve as the base where you will mount your magnifying glass. To ensure the size of the magnifying glass and the box are compatible, place the magnifying glass on the lid of the box, mark the perimeter of the glass, and then carefully cut the square out.
Step 2: Mounting the Magnifying Glass
With your magnifying glass in hand, trace a line of hot glue to the edge of the glass, and then position it on the hole you cut out on the shoebox. Ensure that the magnifying glass is positioned at the centre of the box and hold it firmly in place until the glue dries.
Step 3: Adding Your Phone Holder
To hold your phone in place, position your phone holder on the top of the shoebox lid. Once in place, secure it with black tape, making sure its tight enough to hold your phone horizontal in front of the magnifying glass.
Step 4: Finishing Touches
Once your phone holder is secured, adjust the position of the phone, adjust the focus on your magnifying glass, and then close the shoebox. Use black tape to cover the area around the magnifying glass and the edges of the shoebox lid to prevent unwanted light from entering your projector.
Conclusion
With these easy steps, you can enjoy an incredible experience with your homemade phone projector. Connect your phone to a video or presentation and project it on the wall or a screen to share with family or to enjoy your movie night. So, grab your shoebox, your magnifying glass, and let your creativity run wild. |
