"Penn State Leads $8.5M, Multi-Institution DARPA Project on Mixed-Reality Systems"

Penn State researchers will lead a multi-institution project called "Verified Probabilistic Cognitive Reasoning for Tactical Mixed Reality Systems (VeriPro)" funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to identify cognitive threats faced by Mixed Reality (MR) systems as part of the agency's "Intrinsic Cognitive Security" program. The project aims to model risks, human behaviors, and potential attacks and mitigations within MR systems. According to the researchers, DARPA anticipates future combat and defense scenarios involving MR where malicious actors could hack MR systems and launch cognitive attacks to overload or mislead users. This article continues to discuss the VeriPro project.
