Modern streaming services and USB drives made the age of VHS obsolete; however, the legacy of that time has been left alive for many people who experience such nostalgic memories. But what if I say there is a video player that is fully functional and one can hide it within a VHS cassette? Well, this was done by a couple of techie guys for the purposes of doing their do-it-yourself project.
How Does It Work?
The entire project keeps the VHS cassette in its original outer shape so that no one would easily guess what that tape has really been used for. However, once opened inside, there is a small video screen, a power battery, and a storage device. All of this has been configured to play video-on-demand.
DIY Projects Go With
Usually, such DIY projects go with a Raspberry Pi Zero or another little single-board computer, a pocket-sized 2.8-inch LCD monitor, a rechargeable battery, and a couple of 3D-printed frames. Users can also load some of their favorite videos into the memory card before watching them within the cassette, actually reviving very old tapes.
This is very fun and very creative, with a suitable presentation medium for video editors or digital artists. This vintage design will surely cast a magical spell on any retro designer who will receive this VHS cassette video player as a charming gift.
This has really become a very appealing aspect of this project in that while making them into something aesthetic, at the same time, it is repurposing old and unwanted cassettes that deserve to go into the bin, with little damage to the environment while they are in the process.
Recommended educational project: for homeschooled children or anyone who enjoys technology for fun.
What Is Popular?
DIY videos on making your VHS are going to explode on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels. Most people not only focus on designing their DIY VHS player, but also filming and releasing videos of the process of making their very own builds.
So if you are a techie interested in something creative, then this is your best project hour's DIY video on the VHS-made in homage to an older technology, but in fact, lighting new pathways and openings into future ideologies.
