As many of you guys know, I've always dreamed of creating an intimate, passionate community of VR/AR creators who co-live/co-work, innovate and build the future together. And thanks to your support, this dream is now a reality... and you're invited! :D
On September 5th, me and my partner Aidan Wolf are kickstarting the AR ...

OK, here's the short version: I am starting an AR house in Los Angeles, I'm going to Uganda for a month to develop a VR/AR community there and the new episode of LBTF is shaping up to be the longest, craziest video I've ever done.
July has been a crazy month. I don't know if all of you got...

Hey, everyone! I am happy to report that I've had my first on-set injury ever while filming the next LBTF and now I feel like a true warrior. It happened while I was setting up lights for a scene and for some reason this makes me feel more like a professional filmmaker than ever before.
But it's ok, because now I'm about halfway done with ...

Hey, everyone! This boy is taking took a long time to finish but it'll be 100% worth it!
As you know, the next project was a Valentine's Day gift I designed for my girlfriend in secret - an AR project where I turned her into a musical instrument I could play with my hands (and vice-versa).
But here's the thing - me and my girlfriend ...

Hey, Patrons! So for the past years I've been really excited by the potential of AR letting us create all kinds of fantastical musical instruments - digital AR synths that both sound (and look) amazing, getting us to engage with our environment in a completely different way.
Well now I'm happy to report that this is exactly what my next pr...

It's a space-themed VR experience that explores the future of VR propaganda. It's very weird and that I love very much. I'll be making a LBTF video about it way later in the year (I'm currently submitting it to festivals, so it means I have to hold onto this for a few months), but in the meantime I'd love to kno...

I'm thinking of doing something entirely different for my next video and I wanted to know your thoughts!
I like to think that Lucas Builds The Future isn't just a series about projects, but a series about the process of bringing something to life - including their ups, downs, twists and underexplored dramas that go on underneath.<...

Hey, all! Just letting you know I've been hard at work on episode 3 (my first Harry Potter special) and wanted to share a clip with you that reveals the location... a small castle in Northen England! Can you guess what the project will be? :)

Now I know what you're thinking... an episode 3 update? But episode 2 isn't even out yet! But nevertheless, it's still being actively planned, and I was so excited about these news that I just had to share it with you.

Hey, Patrons! Some good news! Episode 2 will start shooting this Sunday and should be up sometime in late August/early September. This episode will be focused on the future of telepresence and shared spaces and will feature me making a pretty badass project as I attempt to deal with quarantine-driven loneliness.

Due to some technical constraints I won't be able to execute these ideas yet in a way that looks really good and lives up to the LBTF standards, so I may do them later in the year. Episode 2 will have to be about something else. But here is what the community thought about it!
