The biggest gaming expo of the year, E3, is no doubt the most anticipated event for gamers. It features many different upcoming games and gadgets like the Oculus Rift, a Virtual Reality (VR) headset that gives more immersion and Microsoft's HoloLens, an augmented reality headset that is the complete opposite of the Oculus Rift.

The HoloLens will project the game into the real world as opposed to the Rift that lets the user immerse inside the game world.

During Microsoft's presentation on E3, it was revealed that Microsoft and Mojang, have developed a different version of "Minecraft" built specifically for the HoloLens according to IGN.

The amazing feature of Minecraft on HoloLens and the video presentation on E3.

In order for the HoloLens to work properly, as briefly explained on IGN, players can only use the headset on a flat surface. The player can also use a coffee table for an amazing experience, as can be seen in the video above from the YouTube channel, Sam Sklepav.

Saxs Persson of Microsoft Studio demonstrated some of the revolutionizing feature of the headset like the voice command, where players can say different commands like "create world", "follow player", "lightning strike" and possibly even more.

That is not all, as demonstrated by Persson, the player can also use his hands to move, rotate and even lift the world to see what is underneath the surface. To add more, the headset also gives the ability to zoom in and zoom out.

There is no release date yet but according to what Minecraft Brand Director, Lydia Winters said during the presentation, "On July 4th and 5th, we're going to have the biggest Minecraft celebration in the world at Minecon 2015. We can't wait to share more with the community there and be inspired by their ideas."
