# Carbon-Infused LEGO Bricks The LEGO Ultra Agents Merge Physical and Digital Play By Meghan Young | Published 2015-03-03 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-ultra-agents References: [thebrickblogger](http://thebrickblogger.com/2015/02/what-are-lego-ultra-agents-appbricks/) & [lego](http://www.lego.com/en-us/ultraagents/app-brick) LEGO Ultra Agents blends the physical and digital world in a way that makes the experience incredibly immersive. This is achieved through the use of special App [Bricks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-smart-bricks) that are made out of carbon. The use of this material conducts electricity from the player's finger to a tablet device, which will help them unlock unique game features and find secret clues. Although the use of carbon in such a way is common (i.e. styluses), LEGO Ultra Agents brings a different spin by allowing players to form their own [small LEGO creations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-code-break), which become a part of the game. It is through years of trial and error that the company has created LEGO Ultra Agents, showing its commitment to such an experience. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Immersive Play:** LEGO Ultra Agents blends physical and digital play to create an immersive experience for children. - **Carbon Technology:** The use of carbon-infused LEGO bricks opens up opportunities for the development of interactive toys and games. - **Cross-platform Integration:** LEGO Ultra Agents combines physical construction with digital gameplay, creating a new trend for interactive entertainment. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Toy Manufacturing:** The introduction of carbon-infused LEGO bricks presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the toy manufacturing industry. - **Gaming:** The use of carbon-infused blocks in LEGO Ultra Agents paves the way for innovative advancements in the gaming industry. - **Education:** The integration of physical and digital play in LEGO Ultra Agents offers potential for educational tools and interactive learning experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sensor-Driven Play Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-smart-bricks.md) - [Multifunctional Game Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lego-group.md) - [Lego-Centric Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brick-my-world.md) - [Meteorite Dust-Made Bricks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/european-space-agency-1.md) - [Interactive Play Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superpower-academy.md) - [Brick Builder Community Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-play-app.md) - [Food-Based Toy Block Alternatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-6.md) - [3D-Printable Toy Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/makerworld-cyberbrick.md) - [Race-Inspired Puzzle Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/build-the-thrill.md)
