China Now Uses Gait Technology To Identify People Based On How They Walk by wakkinews01: 3:33pm On Feb 28, 2019
China has continued to take technology to exceptional height as they now have facility that identifies a person based on how you walk. Face recognition is in use but you can no longer get away with a crime by hiding your face and walking away.
The country already has an Orwellian social credit system and over 170 million CCTV cameras keeping an eye on its citizens night and day. Virtually all of those cameras can be used with facial recognition software to identify citizens in a snap. But now China is rolling out new gait recognition software that can identify someone even if their face is covered–just by analyzing how they walk, reports the AP.

Huang Yongzhen, the CEO of Watrix, one of the companies who make gait recognition software used by China, says their product can identify people from up to 50 meters (165 feet) away–even if their backs are turned to the camera. Speaking to the AP, Huang said: “You don’t need people’s cooperation for us to be able to recognize their identity. Gait analysis can’t be fooled by simply limping, walking with splayed feet or hunching over, because we’re analyzing all the features of an entire body.”
