TL;DR
A system for identifying people based on their footstep force profiles and its accuracy against a large pool of footstep data is tested and it is shown that the effect of footwear is negligible on recognition accuracy.
Abstract
We have created a system for identifying people based on their footstep force profiles and have tested its accuracy against a large pool of footstep data. This floor system may be used to identify users transparently in their everyday living and working environments. We have created user footstep models based on footstep profile features and have been able to achieve a recognition rate of 93%. We have also shown that the effect of footwear is negligible on recognition accuracy.

15 Citations1994Russell F. Pinkston
A prototype MIDI Dance Surface has been developed which is capable of transmitting precise position coordinates, velocity, and pressure information in the form of standard MIDI messages, ideal for use in interactive dance compositions in which one or more dancers can affect both the music and lighting by the nature of their movements and by their precise position on the surface.
