Kids Science: How to Build A Huge iPhone Display On The Cheap
I love my iPhone, but I always felt that the 3.5 inch screen was a bit to small. Luckily, Instructabes user iamaledgend came up with a clever way to project the iPhone screen onto a wall.
It takes very little to make this happen. All you need is a box of Nikes, some spare Lego parts for mounting and fixing the iPhone and a cheapo magnifiying glass as the projectors' lens.
Oh, and a very, VERY dark room. Since you'll only be using the iPhone screen for illumination of a big wall, the projection will be pretty dim, and as an added bonus, it removes facial expressions.
"It is a little fuzzy so it is hard to read facial expressions from a far away shot of the picture the colors are also not as bright but the quality is pretty good considering the whole thing only cost a dollar." #
That said, I think it a great weekend project to do with your kids if you wanna discuss the physics of light.
And if you wanna build a bigger gun, you can always go for one of those.

This is a very good ideea, I
This is a very good ideea, I have to try to build one for my iPhone.
Why is the title talking
Why is the title talking about iphone when this can be done with any other smartphone? people need to stop talking about a single brand and reach out to all phone users.
Works astonishing good
I just tried this with my jailbreaked iPhone 4 and in dark rooms it worked like a charm!
