Abstract
The disclosed system and method utilizes a plurality of biometric sensing and recording apparati as a means of observing, tracking, and identifying people. In particular, biometric data is collected, stored, sorted, and/or analyzed, creating a composite profile of one or more individuals regardless of whether or not their identity is known. The system permits more effective location and identification of individuals in secure settings or in the environment at large, as well as the location of individuals who may be lost or in need of aid. It also permits the prediction of the future behavior of these individuals, so that they may be tracked or intercepted.
