Strides in new and emerging technologies such as augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) have led to positive advancements across many sectors that have increased accessibility for all users. Healthcare providers leverage AR/VR technology to improve physical and mental health outcomes for patients in therapy, surgical planning, training, and more. In education, AR/VR can create individualized learning for students of every skill level. For users in historically underserved and under-represented groups, immersive technology is helping shape the future of building community. And for users with mobility impairments, immersive technology can open new doors for experiences and activities that would otherwise be impossible. What innovations in tech are there for those with vision impairments and limited mobility? How can immersive technology help elderly users better socialize with others and enable caregivers to improve outcomes?

Electric vehicles (EVs) are heralding a transformative future of decarbonized mobility, and China is leading the charge. Dominating global innovation and production, Chinese automakers now produce over half the world's EVs. New brands like Xiaomi are nearly matching Tesla in autonomy, range, and digital features. Additionally, two Chinese battery makers supply half the world's EV batteries, with China accounting for 75 percent of global production.

Join ITIF in person on Capitol Hill to explore the innovation of Chinese EV and battery producers, the current state of global competition, China's aggressive support tactics, and what the US needs to do to stay competitive.
