- Blender Foundation introduces Blender Lab, an innovation space for designers and developers to work on future-facing projects.
- Blender Lab aims to keep Blender relevant by fostering innovation, experimentation, and tackling unknowns.
- Lab activities are public, independent of Blender releases, and focus on applied and academic research.
- Initial projects include 'Beyond mouse and keyboard (touch and pen)', 'Volume rendering', and 'Light transport'.
- Projects can be proposed by contacting Blender Foundation, with adoption depending on funds, relevance, and applicant experience.
- Ton Roosendaal advocated for Blender Lab since 2018; community and corporate support now make it possible.
- Support Blender Lab by joining the Blender Development Fund at fund.blender.org.
