      It’s weird that people used to be concerened with covering their laptop camera, but people don’t care about their phone camera.

          They can probably guess your shoe size and leg length using the accelerometer. Also if you’re right or left handed.

            You can’t guess correctly someone’s shoe size and leg length using an accelerometer. There are factors that drastically change the results.

              Enough data over time I bet you could. Get a couple drop recordings, arm swing, common heights of beds/desks/chairs, you could find it.

              Would it be automated or easy? Hell no. But you can do it. We’ve discovered more with less

              Samsung health can track some crazy metrics from just the Galaxy watch. I wouldn’t be surprised what else they can accurately estimate. Pic of the data from a recent run.
