Remember overhead projectors? Surely you have one of these dinosaurs steadily gathering dust in the back corner of a classroom at your school, a trusty back up plan in the event of a technological apocalypse.

How To Make a Hologram Viewer for your iPad/iPhone Step #1: Obtain an Overhead Transparency Step #2: Download template Step #3: Tape template onto the transparency Step #4: Cut the OUTSIDE of the template with scissors, then carefully cut the inside.
