Gait Recognition Technology (www.city-journal.org)

Gait biometric systems capture step patterns using video images and then convert the collated data into a mathematical equation. Gait as a biometric measure can be influenced by several factors, including footwear, terrain, fatigue, and injury.

...Love this sub, I don't have hardcore needs in terms of privacy, but wanted to know for people that enjoy a covid mask, their opinion on Gait Rec. Technologies, and does any one have any intel in throwing these systems off, whether or not that is impossible?

If the cameras they use for this are cheap enough to not have an IR filter on them you could maybe blind them with some bright IR LEDs while remaining relatively inconspicuous as long as no one points their phone camera at you.
