Everytime one of these threads shows up someone mentions gait recognition, which sounds incredibly dystopian. Do I have to be constantly conscious of how I walk now to maintain some form of privacy?
Better wear a thick coat too.
"The pentagon has a laser that identifies people by their heartbeat"
I would also guess those same lasers could be used to analyze a persons breath from afar and distinguish different gas compositions, tone and frequency of breathing from different people distinguishing them.
This is a new one. A lot of people have had an EKG, the database is already seeded.
I wonder how well UHMWPE[1] armor plates would work as well.
As far as I've read (I think on HN), Chinese surveillance systems can identify people very well even when wearing masks. I've personally been able to distinguish various acquaintances with their faces covered in various contexts (e.g. on the street). As long as I can do this as a human, there's no reason to believe that face recognition will have problems with this.
Yes! For warmth during the winter especially. Why does it feel criminal to keep your ears cheeks and hair warm with a snood?? :D
I mean full mask, ala Dorohedoro or little-misfortune.
