Use tech to have the spookiest house on the block this Halloween
Spooky season is well underway and you should be expecting some trick-or-treaters soon. Before you get the candy ready, take some time to ramp up your security.
If you want to get into the spirit and spruce up your home this October, you can do so with some technology. You can have a spooktacular display without breaking the bank. Here’s how a little tech can take your Halloween décor to the next level.
Digitize your Halloween
Every day, I see all kinds of reports from the digital world, from new gadgets to innovative ways tech makes life more convenient and fun. That brings me to Halloween.
For years, go-to Halloween decor has involved Styrofoam tombstones, plastic skeletons, fake spider webs and massive inflatables. But this year, you can mix things up with eye-catching digital special effects that make it seem like you’ve got a family of ghosts running around your house.
It’s easy to bring spirits from beyond into your home. This setup should take you less than an hour:
Pretty cool, huh? Here’s what you’ll need to create these Halloween effects:
Projection material.
Projector.
Camera tripod.
DVD player.
Portable Bluetooth speaker.
Bluetooth transmitter (optional).
Screentime
To start, push the curtains off to either side and pull up the blinds. Now you need material to cover the window. You can use semi-translucent material such as light-colored sheer curtains or mesh netting.
Finding the right tech gift is tricky. You want to make sure, first and foremost, it works the way it should. Then it would be best if you considered whether your recipient would use it.
