[android-developers] APIs for stereoscopic camera support in Android 3.0?

Apparently, some Honeycomb (Android 3.0) tablets like the T-Mobile G-
Slate are coming out with dual rear-facing cameras for stereoscopic
video recording

I'd like to do some depth mapping and other real-time processing of
the live stereo video feed, but cannot find the relevant APIs for
working with stereoscopic camera input in the Android 3.0 Preview SDK.
Am I missing something, is it coming with the final Android 3.0 SDK,
or is this again a manufacturer's proprietary extension that is not
(yet) covered by an official Android 3.0? I know that Android 3.0 has
support for multiple cameras, but that is here insufficient to tell
for instance which cameraId represents the left camera and which
cameraId represents the right camera. Camera.CameraInfo currently only
offers CAMERA_FACING_BACK and CAMERA_FACING_FRONT, which is irrelevant
here. In the Preview SDK there is no
"Camera.CameraInfo.CAMERA_FACING_LEFT" or
"Camera.CameraInfo.CAMERA_FACING_RIGHT" or generalization thereof as
needed to prevent a possible fragmentation of conventions.

Thanks!
