More details, including the circuit diagram and the program code for the last example with the photo cell and Talkie are on my webpage here:
rimstar.org/science_electronics_projects/ardunio_speech_synthesizer_using_talkie_library.htm

The speech synthesizer library came from:
github.com/going-digital/Talkie
with hints on how to use it from:
github.com/going-digital/Talkie/issues/4
It comes with a lot of sample words, though I wrote some code so that I could use my own speech.

$Pyramid Hologram - How to Make/How it Works with Princess Leia Hologram Easy to make hologram showing Princess Leias message from Star Wars IV, a flying pterodactyl and a skull. All you need to make is a 4-sided clear plastic pyramid and a drawing with 4 different views of an image. Some of mine are even animated.

A hologram refers to a thing created using a specific process and involves the use of laser, interference, diffraction, light intensity recording and suitable illumination of the recording [from wikipedia]. This pyramid hologram is really 4 views using a trick called Peppers Ghost, the result being something that is popularly known as a hologram.
