From reading the article, not to my understanding. This technology uses the way radio waves, in this case wifi, are bouncing around a space in order to build a picture of the people in it. These clothes just block the signals from devices underneath them. As far as I know, the shape of the garment (and therefore you) would still look the same, and then whatever recognition, gait analysis, etc would still work.
