Washington, D.C. – Earlier this month, Joan O’Hara, Senior Vice President of Public Policy at the XR Association, and Miranda Lutz, Senior Director of Public Policy at the XR Association, participated on the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) This Does Not Compute podcast series. On this episode, titled, Unpacking Immersive Technologies: A Comprehensive Policy Approach, O’Hara and Lutz join host Caitlin Chin-Rothmann to discuss why XR is a transformative technology and its importance to economic growth and national security. O’Hara and Lutz explain why the United States is at risk of falling behind global competitors in the space and make the case for why the U.S. needs a national strategy for immersive technology, pulling from the findings and recommendations from XRA’s white paper, Reality Check: Why the U.S. Government Should Nurture XR Development.
