We made a REAL HOLOGRAM Desk like Tony Stark's!

Tony Stark has the ultimate engineering

workshop and if I want to fulfill my

dream of building a real-life Iron Man

suit well I'm going to need a setup just

like him I've been turning this company

into a real life Stark Industries for

years now I mean our new property is

even shaped like a giant Avengers logo

wow but I call it herc hacks with

engineering research campus anyway it's

been a long time since the first Iron

Man movie a lot of the Avengers level

Tech we saw in the movies well it just

exists we really do live in the future

with transparent displays precise 3D

scanners incredible 3D printers and hand

tracking technology that actually works

heck Edith glasses are actually possible

and AR Tech has come a long way

speaking of augmented reality if you

remember in the first movie Tony uses

fancy holographic engineering desk to

design his second Iron Man suit so it

only makes sense for us to start we're

heated and make the ultimate engineering

workstation but I'm getting ahead of

myself the first step in this journey is

to get kidnapped by bad guy

okay

right I guess it falls to me to make

this desk so let's get started in the

MCU it seems like everyone has a

hologram computer system can't superhero

without having the drawings floating in

front of your face and thin air

we want workspace that lets us scan in

models adjust them in software in a 3D

intuitive interactive interface say that

five times fast and make them real all

in one spot flexi spawn this project

would not be possible without this

video's sponsored flexispawn but more on

them later what we're going to need is a

3D scanner a 3D display and 3D printer

and a kick-ass PC to run the whole ship

tie all those together in one

workstation I'm going to use bamboo Labs

X1 Carbon 3D printer an einscan HX

scanner at a top of the line workstation

PC that we had Logan put together to

support all this heavy Tech we're going

to be using the plexuspot E7 standing

desk if we want to make this suit

reality we can't go having back problems

like Tony will it'll keep us comfortable

whether we're sitting standing designing

or really anything you do on it for that

matter first thing we're going to need

table

[Music]

this

is our table top well actually this is a

sheet of maple veneered plywood but it

holds a tabletop hidden within and I'm

going to attack it with power tools

until it spills its secrets

as it stands this thing's a bit thin

we're gonna need to glue two of these

together to make our full inch and a

half a tabletop luckily I've already

gone and prepared the second piece now

that we've got the bulk of our table top

together we need to cut out the hole for

our main TV 3D scanner our 3D printer

okay uh let's set this aside hey look a

nice convenient desk

so supportive yeah getting way more

support from that table than I am from

you Dara

so this hole is where our 3D printer is

going to sit and this hole is where our

3D scanner is going to sit this big hole

in the middle is where our main display

is going to sit now we just need to sand

veneer and stain this whole thing and

look awesome

now if you go onto YouTube you can find

tutorials on how to make yourself a

hologram it's actually fairly

straightforward

however

odds are every hologram you've ever seen

was actually a static image

that only appeared to move

as you change your perspective or the

lighting because that's like the

definition

that was so much louder than I expected

there's also fake Holograms like

Pepper's ghost

lenticular displays and rear projection

but those don't actually get us the

change in perspective as we move your

head around there are some companies

that are working on light field displays

and volumetric displays and we wish them

the best of luck but until those are

available

we're gonna have to cheat a little

so we are going to be using the next

best thing

a transparent TV

oh

is this what we're lifting this is

that's a little nerve-wracking isn't it

yeah why is it so handy this is

unreasonably heavy it's like we're gonna

stand it up like this here we go

so this is a really fancy uh unique TV

it's a transparent OLED screen and it

took some doing to get our hands on this

thing

this doesn't actually make us a hologram

however it makes any trick that we do

with the display look far more

compelling imagine if I use your

grandpa's tube TV anything we drew on it

would be framed in washed out gray and

decrepit plastic this display is the

most Stark Industries thing you can get

but it alone won't do the job so making

something look like it's there versus on

a screen comes down to one fun trick

perspective

3D image looks great right up until you

move your head and the illusion of this

ruined but what if you can have a

display that always knew where the

viewer was looking from and it could

draw the Right image for what you would

expect to see from that angle well then

you could have a perfect view of an

object floating in front of or behind or

inside of the display and that's exactly

what we're going to do now we pretty

much got tracking people's heads down to

an exact science when we're throwing

mjolnese around the room a couple months

back so we'll use that

seller display software exactly where

our heads are we're going to use the Z2

stereo camera to track where the person

looking at the screen is looking from

here goes nothing

[Music]

I don't know if this extension cord is

plugged

oh yeah

that's really cool

dude that is six whole thing is

transparent and actually it's pretty

bright too

now the other thing it should be is a

touch screen and so it is let's see what

it looks like with the lights off wow

yeah that's so cool we don't really want

this big fragile expensive TV just

hanging out on top of the tabletop at

all times blocking your line of sight so

we're going to build it into an elevator

on the desk I said it can be brought

down and then with one grand hand

gesture raised back up to make our

models real I'm also going to add a 3D

printer to the desk sure it's known

Machinery but with how fast these new

bamboo Labs printers are you can iterate

on a part five times in a day 10 if

sleeping is optional and since I've

already got the parts to make elevators

well we'll just make the printer get out

of the way when you're not using it the

other end of that pipeline we need input

so I'm going to include a high

resolution 3D scanner in the other end

of the desk from the 3D printer

for the elevators this is what I'm

thinking

imagine this is the back of our desk we

want our TV to go right about here when

it's in use and right about

here when it's not to do that the TVs

can be attached by its bottom to these

linear rails those rails are going to be

attached some wooden frame that's going

to go onto the underside of the desk and

then we're going to have a winch of a

kind of pull on a cable and lift the

whole thing up and let it back down so

here this piece of aluminum Extrusion

that we're going to use to actually give

some frame and structure to the bottom

of the TV so these are nylon bolts which

are kind of fancy but we want them so

that we don't scratch the TV because

scratches and big chunk of tempered

glass turn into cracks in a big chunk of

tempered glass

which turns into a really disappointing

and frustrating talk with Ian and James

when they ask why the project isn't

finished now that our 10 V is bolted to

our aluminum we can attach the aluminum

onto our linear guides

that's Dylan saying there's like

chocolate chip cookies or something yeah

you heard that's all right yeah you want

to take a cookie break

you know what yes I think to be a great

time for a cookie break that's my cell

phone

[Music]

kind of busy right now

yes I'd love a cookie

oh I did the thing I wasn't supposed to

do

well I think when I dropped that Rail

and didn't lose any balls from the

bearing wow I used up an entire week's

worth of luck

but luckily I did in the last two hours

of the week

that's in the middle of that stud right

next up

we gotta bring the pain

of plastic

yeah so just drop it all the way down

okay this is good

okay

now that's all put together we can lift

the TV up and down all smooth like and

even with this sloppy piece blaster

it actually stays

pretty close to Upright which is great

now of course

this little model isn't going on the

actual desk but it does show us how it's

going to all go together and let me know

that I'm going to need to try a bit

harder to make this thing light

we have a bit of a chair problem here at

hacksmith Industries which is say all of

our chairs are either broken old or

decrepit flexi spot is not only making

this Iron Man build possible they're

saving our backs by giving the whole

team new chairs thanks guys

chair time

that looks stable

we have chairs

you get a chair we come bringing gifts

and guess what license bought is also

upgraded all our desks and they're on

their way you get a chair

you get a chair

and last but not least I get a new chair

because

I really

really need one

my current chair

leaves a bit to be desired

oh God it's in my life

plexus phone would never again for free

in your eye one of these new chairs

let's get back to the building

our next step is to assemble all the

under cabinet bits Logan's already done

up all the woodwork for that now we need

to install all the motion Hardware

[Music]

that is so smooth at long last we have

our tabletop finished as in we put a

finish on one little design change this

hole is now a circle

but there's one catch the table doesn't

fit through the door to James's office

so we have two options either we tear

down this wall make the door bigger or

we assemble the table in here where it's

finally going to live number two sounds

easier so let's do that now these legs

are great and they're made out of an

awesome high carbon steel which is

actually a bit of a problem for us

because I want to cut off the last

couple inches of either of these edges

isn't that pretty that is going to sit

right there

yo can you give me a hand we gotta get

ourselves some wood glue on here and we

gotta put some pegs in them

now that these are attached we've got to

move to James's tiny cramped office and

finish the building

[Music]

coming soon Flex the spot wheelbarrow

Edition way better than I had any right

to expect

[Music]

repeat it

oh

was that not secured in no I thought it

was but it wasn't ah there we go

and the tabletop mounted to the frame

got the rails for the transparent TV

mounted to the table top yeah now this

is all coming together smoothly

good morning it is a bright new day and

today we are mounting the cabinet for

the 3D printer on the underside of the

tape you know that means the Montage of

me lying on my back cursing at things

[Music]

can you find a bit extender

this is going to sport a 3D printer and

it's going to eject at the top and then

slink back into do this you need a

second set of hands

yeah we need somebody big and strong to

help move a TV

this is the aluminum rail that we're

gonna Mount the transparent CV to so we

put together most of the elevator system

in the Prototype but you haven't seen

the winch and motor go on yeah and

frankly

neither am I this rope is going to be

what's attaching our winch to our

elevator and this is really nice Kevlar

rope

so we've got both the elevators

installed oh

all right go again

and action

oh my God

and up

[Music]

okay okay let's we've had our fun

sometimes we do this

a bit violent but mostly okay I don't

think we need to test it at that speed

you want a strap an 8 000 TV demo

no I don't Daryl

probably gonna do it anyways the base of

our 3D scanner is this turntable and

this turntable is going to be sat

and this here

oh we're gonna cap that off with

this nicely finished

wood disc that's actually pretty

freaking cool

it may look like a mess right now but

just trust the process

I don't trust the process we've got the

printer installed all the cables and

tubing and lighting now runs straight

through the bottom of this platform is

it TP time and it's TV time

if you want to uh help I mentioned the

All In

all in TV is finally installed that is

the ultimate piece of this whole thing

can't wait to see this thing move and I

can't wait to tell James well it's going

[Music]

James Charles how's my desk coming I had

some ideas James where are you uh I

think I'm in a cave or something what

yeah I think they want me to build some

lightsabers or something I think they

stole some mini saber Gen 2 blueprints

I'm not too worried though I'll Escape

in a few months it'll be good for my

character development anyway how's my

desk coming uh yeah I mean the desk is

coming along great and hero send you a

photo

uh Charles where's the industrial design

the pieces are just hanging off the

bottom where's the front of the desk oh

well I mean the video has to come out

soon and we ran out of time damn YouTube

videos don't worry I'll whip something

up hmm yeah

okay nice yeah there we go

oh damn that's awesome

hey what are you doing

[Music]

so we need to implement all of James's

Cosmetics on top of getting the

elevators to work smoothly we're going

to be cutting it a little tight here the

reason everybody's working on the table

right now is that we are out of time we

have to get the photos of the Prototype

sent off to our sponsor literally today

it's 10 30. we have six and a half hours

not good not good not good not good

yeah they are totally they're they're

out by almost 180. I'm getting from this

as we're shafted let's drop the left Joy

coupler off drill a hole through it add

a Cross Pin uh that engages with the

thing uh let me turn the motor off James

ordered some of these really cool RGB

kind of like strip neon lighting we have

these plates for the front and there's

some slots in here so what I'm doing is

just kind of pushing our neon strip

lighting stuff through those slots do

that on these and the side panels and

then it's gonna be pretty cool

we're just working heard

TV is in the air all right let's bring

her up

are we hitting on the right

nope we're waiting on the left

no are we good Go full height

what's full height one was five I think

more

no oh we're slept good well you guys

troubleshoot that I'm gonna go check on

Locker sounds good

arrived at the perfect time look at this

I think if I move my head it's kind of

hard to tell what it's fitting I like

how you're you're very very professional

camera mount is that a just a box it's a

little Lagos model they're gonna need a

little more powerful computer but it's a

good thing that Logan put that together

do you know what's uh going on inside it

or anything well all that I care about

is that graphics card yeah that's a uh

Quadro I think RTX 4500 and that is a

really nice graphics card especially for

3D rendering and SolidWorks and stuff

like that so uh currently if you

actually check out my computer uh almost

100 CPU 100 GPU one 75 memory you're no

stress in here yeah stress at all in

here you're having a great time

it is so polar opposite to everything

that's going on outside of this room our

culprit

s this shaft adapter right here that

goes from a d shaft coming off the motor

to a keyed shaft to go into the gearbox

3D printed it and turns out that can't

take the torque

so we're gonna use one of the

store-bought ones that I got but didn't

install in this because time had passed

and I didn't want to go back and change

things

[Music]

all right

the moral of the story kids is never 3D

print drivetrain components

sharks racist

hey there oh hey he's bad back it's uh

it's all the electronics for our

transparent to split

it's crazy because I can just see Ben

through there oh this is weird man

next up let's install the PC like I said

we would Ogden you're still stress free

in here I mean my software's working oh

God

well you know what that looks pretty

damn good nice little man looks

fantastic

but we are in the home stretch here how

much weight we're putting on these

things it's kind of incredible that

they're staying this stable this is the

back panel this is going to cap it all

off and make pretty beautiful

finished products

well Beauty

[Music]

as you know while I've been putting this

all together Bogdan has been writing the

software that's going to give us the

Epic effects move let's bring it all

together I'm really excited to test this

on the actual screen because even on my

screen it looked pretty good

how am I supposed to work in here I need

to run this wire down as well for now

we could put it like what they said like

here would probably be the best spot to

put it

if I can even set it there resolution

too like ideally we've mounted like

right here I have something that could

work hooks onto the like cross beams

this is like a perfect way to do it

so now we have a brand new computer with

a completely different graphics card

completely different drivers and a

completely different version of unity so

I doubt my code's actually going to work

stressed yet no what do I have to be

stressed about I can fix my code in like

15-20 minutes okay what's the problem I

don't know about you but I don't think

it's supposed to be doing that while

bogdan's working on his saying what

would you describe your activity as

fine-tuning

um I'm not sure I'd call it fine tuning

heck yeah

okay okay how many people can fit in

James's office right now so one two

three four just get in here five wow

[Music]

you turn the lights off they look really

good

[Music]

they actually really smooth

no they've got Falcon software

integrated into the test the only way to

test it is to show you a real demo all

right Jarvis

it's time to wake up

good morning it's 7 A.M the weather in

Malibu is 72 degrees with scattered

clouds working on a secret project Army

sir

foreign

[Music]

this looks great Jarvis send it to print

[Music]

it's an incredible setup I mean sure

it's not quite as fast as you're going

to see in the movies but between this

amazing einscan HX 3D scanner from

shining 3D this amazing one-of-a-kind

transparent display and this Ultra fast

bamboo Labs X1 Carbon 3D printer and of

course it wouldn't work at all without

the support of these amazing E7 sit

stand legs from flexi spawn we can work

at any height seated or working right up

here at a comfortable leaning level this

desk is going to help us bring our

Ironman suit to life now how about our

hologram well I'd say it's working

pretty darn well we have our Zed camera

mounted up on the ceiling tracking

Darrow our cameraman's every move and

adjusting the view on the screen to show

what he should be seeing from that

perspective and yours because he's

holding the camera

it's really compelling I wish we had

this in more software like look at that

it really does kind of feel like you can

look around and peer at the model from

all the different angles

and the cherry on top is that you can

actually reach in grab and pull around

money just like Tony Stark

okay maybe a bit flaky but still it's

pretty sweet when it's working nice

what I love about it is how we can look

at our model in a bunch of different

formats we can have a regular or

exploded or a wireframe view of the

original model like all of this but with

the same interactivity and tracking it's

kind of awesome I want this in my life

all the time thank you to flexispot for
