If you prefer a solution that doesn't rely on apps, you can build a homemade projector with simple materials. This method is an economical and functional way to enlarge your cell phone's image without having to purchase additional devices.

Materials needed:

• A cardboard box, preferably a shoe box
• A magnifying glass or magnifying lens
• Adhesive tape or strong glue
• A box cutter or scissors
• A cell phone stand

Steps for construction:

1. Cut a hole in one side of the box just large enough to insert the magnifying glass.
2. Secure the magnifying glass to the hole with tape or glue.
3. Place the cell phone inside the box with the screen facing the magnifying glass.
4. Adjust the distance from your phone to get the best projection quality.
5. Turn off the lights and project onto a white wall or smooth surface.

This home-based method is an excellent option for those looking to experiment with image projection without relying on expensive software or devices.
