Kotaku 'Shop Contest: Behind Microsoft's Holographic Wall: Winners!

We may earn a commission from links on this page.

After Microsoft showed us what Minecraft might look like enhanced by its futuristic Hololens technology, I asked our 'shop-savvy readers to show us what would really be behind that shattered wall. They delivered. Big time.

Wow, what a contest this was. So many entries. So many duplicate entries. Seems people enjoy The Shining, Attack on Titan, Windows errors, The Wizard of Oz, Half-Life 3, sexy Bill Gates and Gabe Newell a whole lot. Unfortunately there can be only one winner, and while a certain Kool-Aid man came very close, Kuroyuki was the fastest on the draw with the best possibile answer to the posed question. It's only a matter of time.
