Although there are plenty of technologies that are powered by artificial intelligence, 3D printing and drones, a game of laser tag from Tag Team features all of the above. An interactive Mixed Reality tag game involves next-level challenges, such as flying drones that attempt to shoot players. These opponents can be defeated if a team works together and collectively manages to shoot the infrared-sensitive drone 20 times. Other high-tech elements to gameplay include reinvented weapons like swords and bows, which may also be used to take down enemies. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [AI](https://www.trendhunter.com/ai) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Mixed Reality Tag Games:** New mixed reality tag games offer an opportunity to integrate advanced technologies and gamification. - **3D Printing in Gaming:** 3D printing creates opportunities to design customized weapons for gaming experiences. - **AI and Drones in Gaming:** Integrating AI and drones in gaming experiences creates unique and exciting gameplay possibilities. ### Where This Applies - **Gaming Industry:** New mixed reality tag games offer a new and exciting offering for the gaming industry that can incorporate advanced technologies and engage players in novel ways. - **Robotics Industry:** The use of drones in mixed reality tag games creates opportunities for the robotics industry to explore and develop more advanced and sophisticated drone technologies for recreational use. - **Additive Manufacturing Industry:** The opportunities to design and manufacture customized weapons for gaming experiences offer great potential for the additive manufacturing industry to explore novel applications in the gaming industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Phygital Kids Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tacto.md) - [AI-Powered Badminton Trainers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/badminton-trainers.md) - [Street Fighter-Style AR Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jadu.md) - [AI-Powered Sports Training Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-shooting-system.md) - [Tech-Driven Building Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-9.md) - [Mixed-Reality Theme Parks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mixedreality-theme-park.md) - [App-Enabled Party Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twister-air.md) - [AI Board Game Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensetime.md) - [Wearable Gaming-Focused Technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gamertech.md)
