visionary

n. 1. One who hacks vision, in the sense of an Artificial Intelligence
researcher working on the problem of getting computers to see things using
TV cameras. (There isn't any problem in sending information from a TV camera
to a computer. The problem is, how can the computer be programmed to make
use of the camera information? See SMOP , AI-complete. ) 2. [IBM] One who
reads the outside literature. At IBM, apparently, such a penchant is viewed
with awe and wonder.
