Dubai unveils 'Biometric Tunnel' to identify suspects through walking patterns

Dubai Police have introduced an advanced "Biometric Tunnel", a system designed to identify suspects based on their walking style and body movements.

Developed by Dubiometrics and showcased at GITEX Global 2025, the tunnel uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to analyse a person's movements within five seconds, creating a unique motion fingerprint based on joint movement, walking rhythm, and body balance.

Officials say the technology is expected to make forensic work faster and more accurate, strengthen police investigations, and support the justice system.

The initiative is part of a plan to replace traditional identification parades with a “Biometric Parade”, allowing investigators to recognise individuals through motion analysis.

The system also integrates facial, ear, and body measurements, providing an additional tool for criminal investigations when conventional identification methods are not feasible.
