[android-developers] Re: Open multiple cameras simultaneously

Don't know about simultaneously previewing or capturing from a front
and back camera, but I'd say that there has to be a way to
simultaneously capture from the dual cameras in the LG Optimus 3D,
Sharp Aquos SH-12C and HTC EVO 3D. However, I do not know yet what API
they are using. Lacking further information, it could just as well be
that for the Android OS their 3D camera driver hides the presence of
two cameras and just presents it to Android as a single camera with
twice the single-camera view width (side-by-side encoding for
otherwise identical cameras), or some other basic stereo vision
encoding. "Fooling" the Android OS into believing that there is only
one camera can be practical for manufacturers who want to
differentiate and cannot afford to wait for a new Android version with
official 3D capture support when bringing 3D capabilities to the
market. Anyone who knows more about the current situation with respect
to multiple camera support in Android?

Thanks
