I'd just suggest looking into something up and coming that interests you, and start learning whatever you can about that. Industries that will have specific uses for machine-vision: autonomous driving cars, drones, robotics, augmented reality, internet of things Others: crypto-currencies (specifically digital ledgers/blockchains), virtual reality, commercial space exploration, online education, voice recognition, (more as I think of them) Tech that's already big and probably getting bigger: streaming video, instant stock trading based on algorithms, Certainly one of those must be interesting to you. They're all pretty interesting to me.
