Congress finds the following: Immersive technology was included in the initial list of key technology focus areas in section 10387(c) of the Research and Development, Competition, and Innovation Act ( 42 U.S.C. 19107(c) ) because it is an important part of the integrated ecosystem of emerging technologies. Immersive technology has been designated a critical technology by both the National Science and Technology Council and the Department of Defense because of its importance to both economic competitiveness and national security.
Immersive technology, which includes augmented reality, virtual reality, and mixed reality, is widely expected to function as the next major computing platform. Immersive technology will affect all sectors of society, creating new employment opportunities, new economic incentives, and new ways of communicating, learning, and engaging with the world. Immersive technology was invented in the United States, and the United States is home to the leading companies in the industry. Other countries, including competitors of the United States, such as the People’s Republic of China, have recognized the transformative nature of immersive technology and are implementing robust strategies in a race to dominate the sector.
It is in the best interests of the United States to lead the world in the use of immersive technology such that the next computing platform is imbued with the fundamental values of the United States.
