I'm thinking over the question how broad computer vision can be applied. Or whether it is more valuable within certain fields. So, I'd like to know what's your imagination about it. If your phone camera can recognize anything and give you information about it, what do you want it to be?

Let's limit within object recognition only, for the sake of simplicity. A few examples are coffee beans, plant diseases, knitting styles.

Out of curiosity, how would you answer the question?

My hypothesis is that we will first use visual recognition for a few highly relevant fields. But after that we'll expand to almost all objects.

Sorry for not being clear, I meant 'what do you want your camera to understand?

The reason I ask is because if this is not a pressing need for you, it might not be a pressing need for other people. And even if it is a pressing need for some other people, it is only for a few not for most people. Good luck.
