Dubai police to identify people by their gait

DUBAI: Dubai Police has introduced an advanced Biometric Tunnel, a new system that identifies people by their walking style and body movements.

Developed by Dubiometrics and presented at GITEX Global 2025, the tunnel uses AI and machine learning to study a person’s movements within five seconds. It creates a unique motion fingerprint based on joint movement, walking rhythm, and body balance.

The project aims to replace traditional identification parades with a new “Biometric Parade”, allowing investigators to recognise individuals through motion analysis.

The system also combines facial, ear and body measurements to support criminal investigations when normal identification methods are not possible.

Officials say the technology will make forensic work faster and more accurate. It will also help strengthen police investigations and ensure justice.
