My easy tutorial of how to make smartphone projector allows you to increase your phone image up to 15 times more! It means that you can get an image about 60 inch! For this DIY Smartphone Projector (that will REALLY WORK!) you will need: 2 shoe boxes (2! not 1!), magnifying glass (I used cheap magnifying glass which diameter was 75 mm), electrical or black duct tape, scissors and knife, black paint, a pencil and a ruler, smartphone (or even PAPER PHOTOS!).
First step is to connect 2 shoe boxes. Mine were 33 cm each. So I've got 66 cm projector. You can take 1 large box (60 cm), but it should be narrow. How to connect boxes - watch in my video tutorial.
Next step - is to cut off a hole for magnifying glass.
Next - to cover all holes in boxes to make the light pass through the magnifying glass ONLY!
Then paint inside of your boxes black! I used watercolor, but you can use gouache, spray paint, just glue inside part of boxes with matte black paper - whatever!
You'll need a smartphone holder, so I made one out of a plastic bottle bottom (watch in my video tutorial).
Set the holder to the inside back part of the first box (that one which is without magnifying glass). Put your phone to the holder (screen should be turned to the magnifying glass).
Important! Phone settings! Turn phone screen brightness to the maximum. Turn off screen rotation. Flip your phone upside down (so ppl in video or photo will be turned - their feet will be up, and their heads will be down).
About focus and distance: tune the focus with moving your smartphone (with holder) backwards and forwards in the first box. Here are few tips about distance:
1. Distance from phone to magnifying glass - 60 cm, Distance from magnifying glass to the wall - 1 m, image size - ~8 inch
2. Distance from phone to magnifying glass - 50 cm, Distance from magnifying glass to the wall - 1.5 m, image size - ~15 inch
3. Distance from phone to magnifying glass - 40 cm, Distance from magnifying glass to the wall - 5 m, image size - ~60 inch
So, turn off light in your room and start the movie! :)
You can also project paper photos! Use a flashlight for this. Watch in my video tutorial how to set it right.
Good luck!
I am extremely impressed! This worked amazing, just not with very high quality - but certainly very clear. I made my projector size over 20 times bigger than my phone size! I would also suggest that if you are using this for karaoke, it isn't the best as the words come out backwards. TIP: to make the projector as big as you like, make more distance between the wall and the projector!
Also, if you have a well sealed box, don't worry about adding tape or paint to the insides because it worked for me just fine!
Hope this helped everyone who wasn't sure if it would work!
I did this with an iPhone 5😄
@@alessiabennardo7817I used iPhone 7
You know why this worked better than 99% of the other smartphone projectors? Because she painted the inside black. I made a homemade projector in the early 2000's, before smartphones existed, using an old CRT monitor. Every tutorial I read (there wasn't UA-cam then!) told me to paint the inside black, because any other color will reflect light, and light reflection will reduce the quality of the picture. These other smartphone projector videos you see on here, the person making it doesn't paint the inside black and then complains it sucks! Research people, Research.
The only project DIY that gives some insight about the distances and results.
Love this idea! However won't the volume be kind of quiet? I guess you could hook your phone up to a Bluetooth speaker!
you can make a plug hole. just make sure that it perfectly fits so no outer light will go in. then there u go, :D
cool😊😊😊
Sadie Black hello thanku
I'm going to make one and just used my Bluetooth headset
No its actually relatively loud, just put your volume all the way up
Title/IdunnGoddess: How To Make Your Phone Image 15 Times Bigger
Me: 15 x 0 = 0
Good one😂
So it didn't work ?
@@hsnztn2802 it didn't work
@@viejaspeliculasfilipinas3621 it worked for me , but I'm not sure if 15 means that the projected image is like.. 15 times the original photo. If yes, then yes
However.. it's blurry of course..
And upended :/ .. upside down
I still have the box on the top of the cheuveniera in my grandparents' house.. for some reason.. i cut and assembled it.. it was nice and warm to see the projected photo at night
@@hsnztn2802 ok
It's really great, perfect
@Matthew Jayceon did it work?
School's out! FINALLY I can get back to DIY. will try this soon!
IdunnGoddess do you have a sister and she have her channel

Anam Fatima how did it go?
finally, your video helped me to get this projector to work. The 2 box design and those measurements really helped
Thank you very much :-)
+IdunnGoddess If I used a stronger lens power on the magnifying glass could the picture get bigger?
+Carrwn Lenore on the projector*
and using a stronger lens would also mean using a different setting of measurements for the projector.
you could try using different settings to make the image better.
+Carrwn Lenore The problem with this thing is that the brightness of the smartphone screen is limited and the brightness of the wall image decreases as the size increases. So you can get a lot larger image but the brightness will be so low that it will be barely visible in a complete darkness. It's pointless even as seen in the video. That's why we are using a projectors.
Why 2 boxes??
Ooooh, tis is absolutely awesome, very interesting indeed! Thank you for the video!
This is probably the best one of these I have seen, definitely am going to try it out
Now i can watch a movie while having a glow in the dark pool party.. :O im gonna make the outside glow in the dark! Just so everyone can see it :)
@LimeJuice no it isn't just use your brain adjust it
@@aria-lw1lq it is a pain to get right every time
@@aria-lw1lq well it works but for me i had to make to room 100% dark and also i downloaded an app and i put the video sharpness to 50% and brightness to 200% because otherwise it wasn't bright enough. And also i put it on a white smooth surface. I watched a couple episodes from tv shows but movies i don't it will be great because they are usually darker. Also you have to adjust it just enough because sometime you can go crazy knowing you can do a little better but you usually mess it up. So if you do this. Just adjust it and then don't touchit
@@fatkitty4207Hey what app did you downloaded?
And then grab a $5 Bluetooth speaker from five below
😂
Trap Central help
Armeezy Official lol true😂😆😆😆
I have a 4 dollar one
Armeezy Official I just did hat today
That projector test reminds me of movie "Sinister".
Me looking through the magnify glass and phone image upside down magnified 😂 my own tv box 😂
JFC Get a bigger paintbrush, girl.
That must've taken you like two days to paint that with that little brush
Spray paint it
use black tape or black sheet and paste it.... its easy,, this project is only for time pass.. not possible to enjoy movie.
on
Or use black gouache, dip a sponge in it and use it to paint the box.
@@m1glr4mrz smartest comment yet.
THIS WAS THE FIRST DIY PROJECTOR VIDEO I HAVE EVER WATCHED AND I GOT AN AD FOR PROJECTORS!!!!!!!!
To adjust the distance to the wall or the phone, also the size of the image, you can calculate like this:
Distance from the glass to the wall / distance from the magnifying glass to the phone = the size of the picture on the wall / the size of your phone (use inch)
Hmm it's not always accurate 100% due to some other small effects, but almost right.
Have a nice day ^^
If the magnifying glass more far from the phone its mean bigger or more small
Sorry for my bad english
OK on most smartphones locking the auto-rotate only locks in portrait mode ( not very useful ) this could be solved by putting a mirror in the box angled at 45degrees cutting a screen size hole in the top of the box , for focus don't tape the two boxes together but let the small box slide in and out of the bigger one to focus
Brightness has left the chat
My 10 year old daughter built 2 during this winter vacation. She enjoyed making it and was stoked when she focused and saw movie on the wall. That's what really matters, not these other comments that it's video and sound are low quality. she used regular shoe box and round magnifying glass, other she used smaller rectangle boxes with rectangle magnifying glass and she cut off the handle. By the way, she didn't paint the inside of the box, it's lined with white foam. Quote of the day "Never take advice from anyone that hasn't done anything"
It worked perfectly.👍
But When I watching a video , the whole video looked like it was on a mirror
What should be the focal length of lens, power of lens and also aperture?
Very cool video :) I just have couple of questions regarding the set up.
1) If I want to use my 7" Tab, which Lens should I prefer - 4 Inch with 2.25X OR 3 Inch with 5X ?
2) Also, what should be the ideal Distance from Tab to magnifying glass to get 40" (or so) projection...is there any formula?
Thanks!
5 years and no reply. ☹️ Where you at in life ?

Wow

This idea is really great! It’s so cool! But unfortunately when we tried it it was really really small, the image, and it was really blurry. We even tried to use the measurements but the DIY still didn’t work. Great idea though!
You saved me time and boxes 😂 thank you
Excuse me, but can I know why is the picture at the end of the project appears black? Do you have to view the picture in the dark? Please help cause I really wanna try this out ^_^ Btw I'm a new subscriber and I love all of you projects
+Royal Lim projectors use light to transfer the image onto the screen, lesser the lighting where you are viewing, better the picture.
I was watching this with a projector lol
lol
Lol
Haha
Hahaha lol 🤣 🤣🤣🤣
Haha
great idea and execution. I wouldn't have though about painting black for less light reflection. Nice project!
Doesn’t work just so everyone is aware it show the smallest little screen that is blurry
Yohan J only if you hold it right up next to the wall and you like blurry
I've done this and it works, you just need to adjust your phone
@@Dg55345 it only works for certain types of magnifying glasses. I have two magnifying lenses, one has a lower focal length while one has a higher focal length. The higher one is the only one that worked for me.
@@PinkStratovolcano yea
gosh u ve got patience and lots of time ⌚. thumbs up
i tried last night but did not work :( pls help i really wanna make a right one to surprise my lil bro help pls
I love this projector video
A bit complicated but a sweet Idea. Might not be the best thing though. Use any app which can transfer your laptop's screen on the cellphone. Use wifi direct so that The least amount of lag is present. Flip it and put inside the projector. Then Use your laptop to play a game or something.. Probably nothing which requires precise controls.. Play something like.. erm.. ah.. Okay something like battleblock theater. Any 2d game or a less Accuracy hungry game ( Probably not a racing game) And you can enjoy a projector which not only is capable of projecting your phone but your pc too. Cheers. (P.s already done it)
So glad i did this..my bedroom is 8x10 i created a five feet tall shelf, and it projects a 60" on the opposite wall, display from samsung tablet 3, 7". and on my fire phone about 48" display. ( really dark room works bestl) This comes in handy during power outage so i watch movies i downloaded. i live in the Bahamas, so this was like a godsend, only wish i could make it a little brighter, but i guess it would be too awesome lol. Thanks for sharing.
Apple doesn't work till you have lights on
By this we will experience a threater felling and for the volume we can have a speaker 🔊
Could the magnifying glass be square?
I got a projector ad. XD
Lol me tooo.!!
Steve-0-tron same
Steve-0-tron iii
Lol me to
After placing it upside down while setting off the screen rotation, it projects the image straight.....but doesn't it mirrors the image from the right side as left side ???
it doe kinda work. but not very HD or something. but for the 3 euros is spent on it? it looks fun.
thanks
Just adjust screen. Find the best position or put white background on wall
All hail the DIY queen
there's no image coming out: (
Can I ask you how much is the inner surface area or diameter of the magnifying glass because I have two, one is 75 and the other is 80
I TRIED THIS LIKE RIGHT NOW AND IT DOESN'T WORK I'M TELLING YOU
It works for me, but the visibility is poor 😢
It's fake
@@JazzBilon-vf9um Go study Ray optics dude
Je to pěkná debilovina 🙄🤦🏻♀️ Obraz je na h...🥴🫣
@@fugaallegro you need to put magnifing glass inside the box in front of phone and the lens
Yes, I'll try this in quarantine for watch TV thank you
One question- does it really projected at 60in . its the video recorded by putting the mobile close to 10-15in projection??
It can be increased
love ur videos sooooooooooooooooo much watch them all day every day
I made one...It was decent. You have to use it in a very dark space
Thank u so much for the distance measurements. It worked out well for me😊
Really the sized was increased on the wall please tell me is it true
🙏🙏
Good one. 👍
I was planning on making one of these. you've illustrated well.
I'll give you an advice for really cool image improving. Use retroreflective cloth or film for screen. Your eyes should be as near to lens as possible. Because all light reflects back to source with minimal spread. I have such screen for real projector. I'll try to make such projector with phone for fun, then I'll make a video.
I tried this project step by step. finally, the image size was smaller than the image on my phone. :(
I know it's kinda late but you should have centered the lens perfectly first and trial and error with the distance.
@@jagadishgospat2548 kinda late ?😂
brilliant. I love the fact that you can use photos too. please please tell me what music you used for your video. not the ditty at the start but the.one throughout.
May I know how to calculate the distance between phone and the image size? Thanks.
+IdunnGoddess or talking
+Priyank mistry maybe it would be easier for me to follow her tutorial at thus point do the boxes have to e black?
christian doodles: Not have to, but better if you paint them black.
If the magnifying glass is 2m away from a wall your phone should be 1m away from the glass. So if u have a big phone (I did it with a small one) u should just go farther. Am I right?
+IdunnGoddess Il💖ve you
Its seriously, a good and easy way to make a home projector..........! I liked this video.....! Hope you will make such awesome videos for us again......! Thanks........!
What type of magnifier do you use?? my magnifier makes a blur circle around the video :((
try using two magnifying glass that worked for me
Sapns
You are awesome me and my friend are living in a P.G and we made it. Working perfectly fine. All the best you did a fantastic work... :-) :-) :-)
I tried this for my school science exhibition but it doesn't work..
but looks good
I did for myself ,it works but crappy image
wow what an clear image i ever seen in projector
Why its upside down and evem when iturn off screen rotation it still rotating
How does a bigger magnifying glass affect the image size?
why would you put paper pictures when u can just put a slide show on ur phone
hahahahhaha i laughed so hard in this
lol
what if you don't have a phone ?
true I guess..🤔
Believe it or not, long ago.... The only way to have photos, was to have an actual Camera and have them developed! Crazy right!
This is how we make my own silent movie now. :-) thank you for sharing!
hi...
can any 1 say me
what is the power of that magnificent glass
Good qustion
The best and accurate video in
Whole UA-cam
hiiiii love ur channel.. i trird making this box but it just doesnt work: (
the only projection i get on wall is small but so blurry... aby tips how i can fix? thank u!
Try to use other magnifier glasses or adjust the phone
I got the same but my phone brightness was up to max
have u tried with other magnefying lense other than the magnefying glass? example binocular lense or camera lense? does the size of the lense matter?
I did it but it's only projecting white light
BaconRising adjust the distance of smartphone to the Lense
BaconRising its working on a small magnifying glass for me (i did the big one first but it only shows white screen so i tried the smaller one)

Has nyone tried this and succeeded or failed? How big is the projected image?
actually I love this video idea how you made...love your style
It works thank u
this us a real work in viewed projection quality and size please told me
How it works explain process to me
Great opening, Ir actually reminds a person they are wasting those precious seconds..
hey guys if you want to get know knowledge of magnification like how much distance is suitable for perfect image or the radii of magnification glass just follow simple physics chapter name magnification there they will provide you a simple for formula for measuring distance and etc
+Krishna Gupta So if I want to learn something I should look it up in a book? GOD DAMN you are a fucking genius!

Try bigger magnifyng glass liken 10x magnifier ;)
Uniqueorn SiAdeLanie BeyonDes realy
Why did you make the box so large ? I want to do this I have a camera from the 1950's it opens in the back and you can see directly down the pop out accordion like focal lens. I am not using it for anything else its probably worth money but I want to mount that (of course in a way I can just remove it without damaging) and see if I can use it in place of the magnifying glass. This way I can keep a smaller form factor and will be able to adjust the distance of the phone or device and also adjust the lens for a crispy picture, and well it will look really cool . I liked how you painted the inside of the box Black no one else is doing that and it definitely makes a significant difference. Good Job
muito bom D+
omg thanks my boys are going to love movie night even more.
Really
I couldn't find the display button to change the screen around

Yess she’s so creative
This is really cool but I have a question would it show cracks on a shattered screen
Fake. It doesnot work.
because the picture quality at 15" is so bad...
and you are saying that 60"
I do it...
Focus is also gud but the image quality is poor even at MIDNIGHT

I love this video and I've watched it so many times but when I tried this project it didn't work at there was nothing even projecting on the wall.Is it because I bought a cheap magnifying glass or because I'm using an iPod.Please tell me
Worked perfectly butttt when i was watching a music video with lyrics the words werent readable because they looked like it was on a mirror HELPPP
I think you need to turn your phone upside down? Lol idk for sure I just think I heard that somewhere 😝
+ag123fantasy no. that would flip the image up. you can't really stop it from horizontal flipping as the light refracts off the magnifying glass a certain way. mabye if you where to use two infront of each other? im not entirely sure.
hello you are jaz
+Daniel Ramirez you need to flip your phone screen the other way i think
+Elina DB ffs no... needs to be flipped horizontally, and you can't do that -_-
and i even want to know that whether we can see it in day time or not.....IS IT GOOD OR NOT....... IS IT LIKE A REAL PROJECTOR OR NOT.... I LIKED THIS VIDEO SO MUCH.... PLZ REPLY.....
woa ahhaha i should do this
