Minecraft fans get Hololens previewClose
Ten thousand Minecraft fans met in London on Saturday and Sunday for a convention celebrating the popular video game.
Microsoft, the company that owns Minecraft and Minecraft, offered a handful of gamers the “golden ticket” to try its latest augmented reality device Hololens.
The company is currently developing a version of Minecraft that runs on the system. It allows gamers to project their creations onto any flat surface in 3D.
Callum Ward, who tried the device on Saturday said to BBC News it was “more difficult” to use than a console.
His brother Toby admitted that it took some getting used to, but he also praised the “cool features” added to the game, including the ability to knock out other players with lightning strikes.
