1. A method comprising:
receiving an indication to place an augmented reality (AR) object on a screen of a device comprising a static camera having a static view direction and at least one adjustable camera having an adjustable view direction;
capturing a first image using the static camera;
in response to determining that the first image lacks sufficient positioning cues for placement of the AR object:
moving the adjustable view direction of the at least one adjustable camera from a first direction to a second direction; and
capturing a second image using the at least one adjustable camera in the second direction; and
generating for display on the screen of the device the AR object in a position on the screen of the device determined at least in part based on positioning cues from the second image.
