It turns out that we don’t have to wait for some high-tech futuristic age to appear before we can all start using holographic projecters. Some genius out there has worked out how to make one today — using nothing more than an ordinary smartphone and a cheap CD case.
It’s really easy to do. And we guarantee that you’ll be as captivated by the result as any wide-eyed child!

Step 2
Separate the parts of the CD case and remove the thin edges until you end up with a flat piece of plastic. Place the paper template of the trapezoid on it, and trace the outline with a pen. Cut the trapezoid out of the CD case using your scalpel or glass cutter. Then trace and cut out three more identical shapes.

Step 4
Launch one of the videos specially created for the projector on your smartphone. There are several different ones to choose from, but we think the best is the one featuring a beautiful and mysterious jellyfish as well as Greta Garbo, which can be found here, whilst here you can find a funny motivational speech from Shia LaBeouf.
