The United States Leadership in Immersive Technology Act of 2025 aims to bolster the nation's leadership in immersive technology, which includes augmented, virtual, and mixed reality. It mandates the Secretary of Commerce to designate a principal advisor on immersive technology to support its improvement, deployment, and security, and to coordinate agency policies. The bill recognizes immersive technology as a critical and transformative computing platform, essential for economic competitiveness and national security, and highlights the need for the U.S. to maintain its lead against global competitors. A key provision is the establishment of the Immersive Technology Advisory Panel , to be formed within 180 days of enactment. This panel will comprise various federal agency heads and 6 to 10 experts from academia, industry, think tanks, and civil society, appointed by the Secretary of Commerce. Its objectives include assessing the economic impact of immersive technology, recommending strategies for U.S. competitiveness, fostering collaboration between government and the private sector on standards and cybersecurity, and establishing ethical safeguards for data privacy. The panel is also tasked with conducting a comprehensive study on the immersive technology industry's state, its economic and national security effects, and the investment needed for timely deployment, with a report and recommendations to be submitted to Congress and publicly published.
