Creating Mind-Blowing Holograms by Hand

TLDRLearn how to create stunning holograms by hand using a simple technique of making scratches in a shiny surface. The holograms appear 3D and can be viewed from different angles. Find out the secrets behind the technique and discover how to make your own holograms.

Key insights

🌟Holograms can be created by making scratches in a shiny surface using a divider.

The technique is deceptively simple, but it produces stunning 3D holograms.

🔍The holograms appear to hover below the acrylic plate and can be viewed from different angles.

🎨Complex objects can be created by etching multiple points and lines at different depths.

🧪The image warps and bends depending on the viewing angle, creating fascinating effects.

Q&A

What materials are needed to create holograms by hand?

You will need sheets of black acrylic, a divider, and a shiny surface.

Are these holograms the same as the holograms on credit cards?

Yes, the handmade holograms use the same technique, but the etching is much smaller.

Do the holograms require special lighting to view?

No, the holograms can be viewed with regular lighting. However, changing the viewing angle can enhance the 3D effect.

Is it possible to create more complex objects with the hologram technique?

Yes, by etching multiple points and lines at different depths, you can create intricate and detailed holograms.

How can I prevent warping and distortion in the holograms?

Using the correct curve for the etch and precise etching techniques can minimize warping and distortion.
