Abstract: An apparatus for effecting a control action in respect of a function within a virtual or mixed reality system, the control action corresponding to a predefined bodily movement of an authorized user of said function, wherein an authorized user is defined by a predetermined criterion in respect of a selected body part and/or a passive device carried thereon. The apparatus comprises a detection module for detecting a predefined bodily movement; a multi-spectral imaging system for capturing spectral reflectance and/or emission data at a plurality of wavelengths in respect of said selected body part and/or the passive device carried thereon; and an analysis module for comparing at least a portion of the spectral data with data corresponding to an authorized user of said function to determine if said criterion is met, and outputting a signal to effect said control action only if said criterion is met.

Abstract: A control system for an unmanned vehicle includes a control processing unit which receives input signals from one or more sensors and supplies output signals to one or more actuators. Processing modules are divided into a plurality of successively linked stages. In a first stage, multiple processing modules produce substantially equivalent payload data when operating correctly. Message cryptography units generate cryptographically signed messages containing the payload data. In a second stage, a voting cryptography unit receives and examines the cryptographically signed messages, and applies voting logic to derive a validated payload data for use by the respective processing module of the second stage.
