I'm thinking that over the next 5 years, the simple act of giving every geek a powerful, programmable computer with a camera attached (that fits in their pocket) is going to do more for computer vision than all of the years of research that came before.
I certainly hope so. We got taught by John Daugman, who's done some amazing stuff in Computer Vision. It's brilliant for us to be able to do something like Sudoku Magic in a mobile phone. And we have plenty more ideas to come!
