Abstract

Gender differences in spatial abilities are widely acknowledged and scientifically proved. In this paper, we explore the feasibility of implementing a behavioral biometrics system capable of distinguishing between men and women, based on a 3D trajectory following test that examines abilities in a spatial context. Haptics were used in order to capture and record various behavioral biometric characteristics such as exerted force, distance from the target trajectory etc. A 83.11% accuracy was observed, suggesting that this novel use of haptics is suitable for this purpose.
