A Vision for the future

For the past 40 years, computer scientists and engineers have been building technology that
has allowed machine vision to be used in high value applications from factory automation to
Mars rovers. However, until now the availability of computational power has limited the
application of these technologies to niches with a strong enough need to overcome the cost
and power hurdles. This is changing rapidly as the computational means have now become
available to bring computer vision to mass market applications in mobile phones, tablets,
wearables, drones and robots enabling brand new user-experiences within the cost, power
and volumetric constraints of mobile platforms.
