1. A method of generating random numbers for cryptographic applications, comprising:
generating a recording of an environment by means of a detector,
presenting the recording by means of a display,
positioning a virtual object in the presentation of the recording in the environment,
determining real world coordinates for real world points in a real world coordinate system for the environment,
determining virtual world coordinates for one or more virtual world points in a virtual world coordinate system for the virtual object,
generating a random number using at least the real world coordinates of a real world point of the environment and the virtual world coordinates of a virtual world point of the virtual object, and
using the random number and/or a value derived from the random number in a cryptographic application.
