What is “Lifevision”, and why can’t I find it?

3d piece of crap monitorSo… Apparently there is this company “Lifevision 3d” that was being used to monitor attendees of the superbowl (some kind of… football, gamey thing, but not soccer). It has a 20 inch screen that projects an image 30 inches in either direction. Sounds like some pretty cool shit, but I can’t find a page about it anywhere. No review. No coverage. No wikipedia. Only some wierd PR site, with the terrible picture that you see of this thing. Therefore, I’ve determined, it doesn’t exist. And here’s what I think happened:

“Intrepid Defense & Security Systems” is a contractor for homeland security. Homeland-security rich-white-guy knows Intrepid-Defense-&-Security rich-white-guy and they decide they need to spend a holy-shit load of our money protecting some private, bullshit, display of masculinity. They sit around and think of some great bullshitty thing to spend the money on that sounds high-tech and half assedly try to make it happen, making them an amazing amount of money off the tax payers and less effectively protecting the superbowl than if they wouldn’t have wasted our money in the first place.

  1. I checked around but had trouble finding anything - but Wade Couunty (Detroit area - 8th largest county in the nation) had a budget of around $14 million last year for Homeland Security and dropped back to around $2 million for 2006. Somebody got rich…
