Minecraft Hololens demo at E3 2015 (amazing!)

Jump to the 2:25 mark. It's really awesome. Minecraft is a game we’ve seen countless times before. And yet! The virtual reality demo showcased by Microsoft today makes the game almost seem brand new. It's amazing. We do live in the future. Read more: kotaku.com/microsofts-holograp...

[@jakeonepence6521]

6 years later. no sign of this. I really wanted this as a kid lol

[@njbizzle]

Yes

[@LevelCASUNO]

They made hololens 2, and you can buy it but you need a lot of money

[@thecriticaleffect3849]

They exist, I used one years ago at a local university's VR lab, but the kit cost them around £1000~ I believe, and it was very underwhelming compared to these videos. Although, I never played Minecraft on it. Mostly played this game where creatures would break through your walls and try to kill you, while you pimch your fingers together at them or use voice commands to "shoot" them.

[@gunslinger1978]

The fact your now grown up is even more tragic. You'll probably come bk in 5 more years with kids of your own and still no sign of it.

Hololens isn't that popular these days and many ppl still play MC on PC -- not using hololens

Hololens turned into a device for factory and hospital workers, and companies in general to use. It's 3500 bucks though if you want one anyway. :)

[@dayoldbread1696]

Hololens 3 is coming eventually, there was even a recent patent filed by Microsoft that showed a Hololens model that was sort of a mix between the Apple vision pro and Google glass. It uses a sleek frame like Google glass, and a built in front display that can be snapped into the frames and popped off. Basically these are way more transportable and easier to wear in public without looking like an alien. The most interesting thing to me was that the patent mentioned there would be upgrades/modules you can buy and snap into the back of the headband/frame. Two that were listed were a module that added more processing power and one that added more battery capacity. Hopefully they come out soon but most likely will still be a few years away who knows. I definitely am looking forward to them though even though it'll most likely be very expensive

It's really cool, but it seemed too good to be true… The virtual world built on the table was just…too stable, I've never seen any AR apps or devices that could produce such stable image, they always trembled a bit all the time. Of course I hope this is true.

[@GamingControversials]

Nathaniel Wu When he was going underground you could see it being a bit jittery, but other than that, yeah, it was extremely stable. I am surprised.

[@Krivvan]

Nathaniel Wu I'm interested in what they're using as the reference point for the tracking. Perhaps something embedded in the table, or the table texture itself. Edit: Ok so it's essentially a kinect strapped to the front, that works.

[@Ree1981]

Nathaniel Wu The camera that filmedit had waaay exaggerated FOV too. And they had magically solved the no.1 AR problem: blocking out reality and "rendering black". What we saw was nothing more than smoke and mirrors.

[@Nathaniel_Wu]

Ree1981 Exactly what I'm worried about

[@Krivvan]

Ree1981 To get similar results as what you see in the video you'd probably have to darken the ambient lighting, and even then it won't be quite as crisp as we see it here. There are some hands-on reports that do say that they did well with the "rendering to black" issue though and that the opacity is controllable. We also do know that the FoV of the HoloLens is not huge (definitely doesn't cover all of your vision) and that the video may exaggerate it. The tracking and display it uses, however, likely work well enough. I'm also worried at how well the gesture recognition and hand controls actually work.

Except the power glove was pretty much a wiimote taped to your hand and this is mother fucking holographic augmented reality.

[@coolite5745]

True.

[@MrNiceguy3210]

I feel that Microsoft had more tech to reveal, backwards compatibility and hololens, while PS4 has more games/exclusives.

[@mightymindsoup9828]

Definetly not more exclusives, 2/3 of the ganes they showed were either timed exclusive, exclusive missions, or multiplatform with ps4 beta

[@akainuoptc7633]

More exclusives? More timed exclusive dlc you mean. Microsoft had as many pure exclusives.

[@yxnglucci4801]

Woah... Mojang is pronounced Moyang? i thought it was pronounced Mo-Jang

[@MrAvatin]

+Myro Mercado Same XD

[@AppleAssassin]

+Myro Mercado Well I guess since it is Swedish and Swedes pronounce Js like Ys

[@myrokulet]

That explains it!!

[@trysometruth]

Apparently, it's Swedish for "gadget".

[@Voxet1]

It's officially mojang but the team says that you can do any pronunciation.

That's cool and all... But it's Minecraft, I wanna see other games being played on it.

[@deadlykat8561]

MrZancruz they will add more games in to it.

[@MrZancruz]

ninja stick Maybe, But will it be on the level that was shown here? I doubt it.

[@LadyKillerGamer]

MrZancruz I don't doubt it it will happen lol.

[@deadlykat8561]

well hololens have other programs.

[@LadyKillerGamer]

ninja stick Yes it can be used in everyday life.

[@beastrule]

HoloLens 2 also comes with a retracable lens, just like what you can find on most Windows Mixed Reality VR headsets. HoloLens 2 will be available later this year at a price of $3,500, which is a bit more expensive than the $3,000 that Microsoft asked for the first-gen devices.Feb 24, 2019 Who has this kind of money?

[@derp8575]

You and Bill Gates.

[@thatoneluna]

yeah this never happenned

[@KalkuehlGaming]

The fact that they didn't just finished this as a small mod for the actual owners of the lens is heart breaking. The only reason why I didn't buy this lens is the lack of software and not releasing this is part of that problem.

[@HeyItsTheWykydtron]

It's 2020.. and well is this still a thing?

[@SubstanceD91]

Kind of. It's extremely difficult and expensive to manufacture. I think originally they thought they could drive the price down but it's been 5 years and it's only gotten more expensive. They sell it to surgeons and factory workers mostly. It really is something special if you get a chance to try it, there's nothing else like it. There's no question that it's the future which is why MS keeps developing the product but someone needs to figure out how to manufacture the lenses better and make it cheaper.

I don't even play Minecraft. I tried to give it a chance a few times, but I never really got into it. But even if I don't play Minecraft, this is the coolest thing I have ever seen.
