While there are many games—including ones based in augmented reality—that already exist based on a similar premise, Seedling takes the concept to new heights with the capabilities of the Magic Leap One. Players are introduced to a story in which a sci-fi world has been destroyed and they must help to [cultivate new life](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/match-masters). Most interestingly, the AR plants introduced through the game are designed to interact with [real-world objects and furniture pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-4) in their immediate surroundings. Over days and weeks, the augmented plants can be tended to for the purposes of repopulating the alien ecosystems. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/games) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **AR Plant Games:** Augmented reality plant games that interact with real-world objects create opportunities for product development in the gaming industry. - **Augmented Reality Storytelling:** Using augmented reality technology to create immersive storytelling experiences creates opportunities for product development in the entertainment industry. - **AR for Education:** Using augmented reality to educate and raise awareness on the environment and conservation creates opportunities for product development in the education industry. ### Who This Affects Most - **Gaming:** Developing AR games that merge the virtual and real-world creates opportunities for disruptive innovation in the gaming industry. - **Entertainment:** Using AR technology to enhance storytelling and create immersive experiences creates opportunities for disruptive innovation in the entertainment industry. - **Education:** Using AR technology to raise awareness on environmental issues creates opportunities for disruptive innovation in the education industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mixed Reality Intergalactic Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starship-home.md) - [Earth-Honoring AR Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/regenerative-agriculture-experience.md) - [AI-Filled Virtual Worlds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/klang-games.md) - [Immersive Farming Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harvestella.md) - [Mindful Virtual Reality Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maloka.md) - [AI-Powered Autonomous Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gardyn.md) - [Alien-Hunting AR Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taito.md) - [Plant Care Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leaffy.md) - [Independent Multi-Gameplay Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gardens-studio.md)
