Superbowl Security Tech

The Superbowl means hundreds of thousands of people, crazy commercials, and a security nightmare for anyone in that field. Recently, Homeland Security announced the use of special 3D vision type systems to ensure tight security monitoring of the Superbowl and surrounding areas. (Check out the posts about CNN and its use of holograms if you haven't done so already.)

The company, Intrepid Defense & Security Systems, is responsible for the new LifeVision 3D system that is already making waves in many more fields than security including medicine, entertainment, and retail. Much like the human brain mashes the signals it receives from both eyes to calculate depth and angles and such, the LifeVision 3D will use streaming signals from two cameras pointed in the same direction to project 3D images onto 20 inch screens specially made with a depth tube that makes it appear as though the images displayed are raised 30 inches forom the screen and also drop 30 inches into the screen.

The idea is to make facial recognition easier since the systems will provide a 3D view of someones face rather than a regular 2D image. It should also make seeing under vehicles easier due to acurate depth perception and here is the best part, no other special equipment or crazy futuristic goggles necessary.
