The AR House Starts This September - And You're All Invited!

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 House in Los Angeles, California! A creator house ...

Crazy Things Are Happening

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 to see 2021-07-24 03:44:26 +0000 UTC View Post

I Broke My Toe + Some Stills From the Next Episode!

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 the next video and it's turning out pretty awesome...

New Video Is Almost Done! (Exclusive Clip + Project Update)

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 live together, so doing her a surprise project rig...

New Project Reveal - Patreon Sneak Peek

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 project will tackle, but from an entirely unexpected...

I finished a VR experience! Looking for testers :)

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 know if you have a PCVR headset and would like to tes...

My Next Project Will Be My Biggest Failure

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.

Well one thing that doesn't ring true to lif...

Vote for Episode 2! What idea excites you the most?

Update: Hey, everyone! 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!
