`Chinese device can identify passers-by using their gait`: "London: Chinese scientists have developed a unique biometrics device, probably for the military, that uses a person's pace to identify them covertly, according to a confidential US cable leaked by WikiLeaks.
The Chinese Academy of Science (CAS) Institute of Intelligent Machines (IIM) in Hefei, capital of Anhui province has developed a biometrics device that uses a person's pace to identify them, a cable sent from the US Embassy in Beijing was quoted as saying by the whistle-blower website WikiLeaks.
'The device measure weight and two-dimensional sheer forces applied by a person's foot during walking to create a uniquely identifiable biometrics profile. The device can be covertly installed in a floor and is able to collect biometrics data on individuals covertly without their knowledge.'"
