The chinese app wechat already does this in private homes for the purpose of enforcing KYC and "misinformation tracking" - you are required to repeat after it, repeat every phoneme/syllable to form a voiceprint (and coincidentally enough to basically train something to replicate your speech), look straight ahead, rotate around your head, and follow its instructions to sign in again.

Also, asking two verified-ID mainland china users to "vouch" for you and be responsible for your activities if you are a foreigner.

Almost every service in China requires "real name verification" - you can't play games without it, for example.

This has been place for several years, https://i.imgur.com/FBrCwuX.jpg
