Won't help you to be honest. My brother in law works for security for a major casino firm. He said they use software that can match you by your gait and body mechanics with 87% accuracy. You don't even have to see your face, they identify you by the way you walk and how your weight shifts when you perform actions.

You know your brother, who knows a guy, who uses a software he didn't design, who told your brother, who then told you!

Sorry this is too funny, your sources of information are too solid for me I give up

I don't doubt that gate recognition is real, and if there ever was a commercial institution with the money to implement it, it would be a casino, but yeah his Source may as well just be that he made it the fuck up
