Agreed, the concept's great but really you're just taking a picture then asking someone to describe it & printing that; that tech's been around for a while. A more practical approach may be to develop a camera with access to the web. When pictures have been taken and the camera can get a 3g/4g/wifi network connection it uploads the pics to the cloud (optionally removing or retaining to save space on the camera's local memory or allow the images to be accessed on the camera in offline mode). You can then put in some serious server power to run through all uploaded images to describe the contents (including tagging people in the photos and using GPS data to help identify content based on location context) and have this data automatically sent back to the camera (if desired) as well as stored against the image online. Randomly picked images, or those with a low accuracy rating (e.g. the algorithm has rated its description as tenuous) could be sent to a service such as mechanical turk so that the results can be verified / improved upon / to ensure the algorithm has feedback to learn from.
