It can take quite a lot of processing power to do anything significant with computer vision, so it might be a while before we see Roomba-like devices with sophisticated 3D vision. I would predict that within ten years we're going to see things like very low cost toys having face recognition as a built in feature, and also 3D vision systems which can guide a robot around a house.
