DIY iPod video projector



Forget those silly video out ports on your iPod's dock. For some serious video fun, build your own video projector.

Instructables member tanntraad built a clever little projection box for his iPod with a mirror and a lens from an old slides projector (remember those?). When the iPod is placed on a screen-sized hole on the top of the box (brightness turned all the way up), its video is bounced off of the mirror, through the lens and onto a the wall. The result is a very cool iPod-powered home theater.

Well done, tanntraad! We love it.

Home theater? I think not. It's a cool concept and all, but the output is way to dim to be practical.

Is it too much to ask to post videos that iPhone users can see them? Maybe Cory can whip up an flv to h.264 automator action...
