Minecraft fans get Hololens previewClose
Ten thousand Minecraft fans met in London on Saturday and Sunday for an event celebrating the cult video game.
Microsoft, the company that owns Minecraft and Minecraft, offered a small group of players the "golden ticket" to test its new Augmented Reality device Hololens.
The company is working on a version of Minecraft that runs on the system. It allows gamers to project their creations on any flat surface in 3D.
WORST LIES
Callum Ward, who tested the device on Saturday, stated that it was more difficult than a console.
His brother Toby admitted that it took some getting used to, but praised the "cool features" added to the game, including the ability to kill other players with lightning strikes.
Minecon 2015 set a new world record for the number of tickets sold for an event focused on only one game.
Robert and Vik, YouTube video stars better known as MrWoofless or Vikkstar123HD, were among the crowd.
Vik told the BBC: "Minecon is such an incredible experience for us as YouTubers. We create content for a large audience across the world and it's not often that we get to meet them."
