“A new biometric ‘gait recognition’ system has been developed by Britain’s National Physical Laboratory, meaning that individuals can now be recognized and located by their ‘signature’ walk. Serious privacy concerns have been aired about the system and its potential surveillance applications. Simultaneous research has been carried out by Professor Martin Hofmann and colleagues at the Technical University of Munich. They have developed an even more intrusive version that takes information from a person’s image, such as shadows on their clothing, creating a considerably more detailed ‘signature’.”
