1. A computing device, comprising:
a first ambient light sensor system comprising an ambient light intensity sensor and an ambient color sensor; and
processing circuitry and memory storing instructions that, during execution by the processing circuitry, causes the processing circuitry to:
detect an external device in vicinity of the computing device, wherein the external device comprises a second ambient light sensor system;
determine an orientation of the first ambient light sensor system;
receive information describing an orientation of the second ambient light sensor system and information describing sensor data of the second ambient light sensor system;
determine a relative orientation based at least upon the orientation of the first ambient light sensor system and the information describing the orientation of the second ambient light sensor system; and
perform correction of sensor data of the first ambient light sensor system based at least upon the relative orientation and the information describing the sensor data of the second ambient light sensor system.
