1. A device comprising:
a first sensor for capturing first image data corresponding to a first image, the at least one first sensor being rectangular;
a second sensor for capturing second image data corresponding to a second image at least essentially orthogonal to the first image, the second sensor being rectangular and oriented to face a same direction as the first sensor relative to the device; and
at least one hardware processor configured to:
cause the first sensor and the second sensor to capture, respectively, the first image data and the second image data at least substantially simultaneously; and
store together data from the first image data and data from the second image data as a cross-shaped image, wherein a first pair of opposite arms of the cross-shaped image originates from the first image data and a second pair of opposite arms of the cross-shaped image originates from the second image data.
