Brown Bag Seminar: Computer vision and visions for computers

Not long ago, computer vision and augmented reality were science fiction, but both are now increasingly important parts of our digital lives. Visions have become a reality. What are the visions for the next steps? How can computer vision be used for augmented reality and other applications? Both technologies offer great possibilities in the future, but how can we empower people to have a say in what the digital futures hold for us?
