Show: Magic Hologram Video

Discovered: Mr. Dircks (1500's)

Hi everyone! I just made a Magic hologram Video! It was really fun! I really liked the part when it had come up to the 3D Hologram. When it comes out, it displays a 3D hologram of the picture you chose.

You first have to have a video of a hologram (4 identical pictures in a circle) below:

One picture on each side, turning like a circle.  

All the pictures have to be the same!

You then can put a clear plastic pyramid on top.

This kind of plastic pyramid is special! It is specifically designed for projects like this. 

The pyramid has 4 sides, each side with a triangle = When one picture shines on to the pyramid, all the other sides shine on as well and the picture goes through the clear pyramid. Since all the pictures are all the same, it joins together to make it look like a 3D picture. It looks bright and it looks very cool! You have to look at it from the side, not from the top for it to work.

I really liked doing it, because the process was also fun! I'll show you how to do it at the end.

Here is the video of my amazing hologram:
