HR 10359 United States House · 118th Congress

United States Leadership in Immersive Technology Act of 2024

This bill establishes the Immersive Technology Advisory Panel within the Department of Commerce, requiring it to assess how augmented reality, virtual reality, and mixed reality (collectively "immersive technology") impact economic competitiveness and national security. The panel, composed of federal agency heads and external experts, must study industry effects across sectors like healthcare and manufacturing, identify ethical safeguards for privacy and accessibility, and make recommendations on U.S. leadership strategies. It mandates a two-year industry study and a congressional report within 90 days of completion, focusing on collaboration, standards, and strategic investments. The bill directly affects federal agencies coordinating on immersive technology and the broader industry, without imposing new regulations or funding.
