This bill establishes the United States Leadership in Immersive Technology Act of 2025, which creates a comprehensive framework for advancing and managing immersive technology (including augmented, virtual, and mixed reality) in the United States. The legislation mandates the Secretary of Commerce to designate a principal advisor on immersive technology and establish an Immersive Technology Advisory Panel within 180 days, comprising high-level government officials and experts from academic institutions, private sector technology firms, and civil society. The panel's primary objectives include assessing the economic impact of immersive technology, developing recommendations for maintaining U.S. economic competitiveness, promoting collaboration between government and private sectors, and establishing ethical guidelines to protect individual data and privacy. Additionally, the bill requires the Advisory Panel to conduct a comprehensive two-year study examining immersive technology's role across various sectors like manufacturing, healthcare, education, and national security, with the goal of identifying strategic investment needs, potential benefits, and risks. The panel must submit a detailed report to Congress within 90 days of completing the study, which will be publicly accessible, ultimately aiming to ensure the United States leads the global development of this transformative technology while upholding fundamental American values.
