The concept behind this is to use the basket upside-down with your smartphone being suspended somewhere being used as a video camera. The many holes allow flexibility in your choice of approaches. This post will show how to set up the physical parts. Using the software will be explained in the next post.
After setting up IP Webcam (see next post), suspend the phone from the top of the basket. I used three lengths of suture material:

Turn the basket + phone upside down, and insert two laparoscopic instruments as required:

Now you have completed the physical setup. You can put any practice equipment underneath the basket.
The next post will detail how to set up the software in order to show what your smartphone camera is detecting on your computer screen.
