With this in mind, you may have flirted with the idea of turning your handset into a DIY smartphone projector. This video by TechBuilder can help you bring this concept to life, so long as you have the following items:
A Hack-saw A Shoe Box A Magnifying Glass (for the projector lens) A Foam Board A Box Cutter A Glue Gun A Ruler A Compass Some Cellotape Your Smartphone
What to Look Out for When Making Your DIY Smartphone Projector
With these items, you can begin to construct your simple and yet ingenious DIY smartphone projector using the steps in the video. Remember to keep the following points in mind:
Use lots of glue when securing the shoe box. This prevents it from wobbling when the section is cut for the projector lens. Use a compass to guide the box-cutter blade as this creates a precise hole for the lens. When securing your smartphone against the foam board, ensure that it is placed centrally and aligned with the lens. Remember to focus the lens (once complete) by moving the smartphone back and forth within the casing.
