Your walking style identifies you better than face. Are you going to walk differently once you put a hat and sunglasses on?

- imaginenore 11y agoDo you have a database of walking styles? Does anybody? They definitely have access to most people's photos - driver's licenses, passports. I personally don't care if they know where I go in public. They can just tail me if they really want to know.

- imaginenore 11y agoYeah but if they have access to your phone, they already know where you are, no need for the overcomplicated accelerometer method.
- darpa_escapee 10y agoIf it's in a database, then people without access to your phone can still identify you.
