Bill > S1106

This bill establishes the United States Leadership in Immersive Technology Act of 2025, which creates an Immersive Technology Advisory Panel to promote and strategically develop immersive technology (including augmented, virtual, and mixed reality) in the United States. The bill recognizes the transformative potential of immersive technology across various sectors and aims to maintain U.S. leadership in this emerging field. The Secretary of Commerce will appoint a principal advisor on immersive technology and establish an advisory panel comprising high-level government officials and experts from academic, private sector, and civil society backgrounds. The panel will be responsible for assessing the economic impact of immersive technology, making recommendations on economic competitiveness, collaboration between government and private sector, ethical safeguards for data and privacy, and global leadership strategies. Within two years, the panel must complete a comprehensive study examining the technology's impact on various sectors, including manufacturing, healthcare, education, and national security. The study will also identify potential standards, best practices, and ways to maximize benefits while mitigating risks. Finally, the Secretary will submit a report to Congress with the study's findings and recommendations, which will be published on a publicly accessible White House website.
