1. A system comprising one or more processors and one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media embodying instructions coupled to the one or more processors, the one or more processors operable to execute the instructions to:
capture, by one or more image sensors of an apparatus, an initial image of a user's physical workspace, wherein:
the apparatus comprises a head unit comprising a plurality of illumination sources and the one or more image sensors; and
an intensity level of each of the plurality of illumination sources is separately adjustable and a position or an orientation of the head unit is adjustable; and
determine a brightness-related visual artifact in the captured initial image of the user's physical workspace;
automatically adjust an intensity level of at least one of the plurality of separately adjustable illumination sources based on the determined brightness-related visual artifact in the initial captured image;
automatically capture, by the one or more image sensors, a subsequent image of the user's physical workspace as illuminated by the adjusted intensity level of the at least one of the plurality of separately adjustable illumination sources;
compare the initial image to the subsequent image to determine the effect of the intensity-level adjustment on the brightness-related visual artifact;
further automatically adjust the intensity level of at least one of the plurality of separately adjustable illumination sources based on the comparison; and
further capture images at different adjusted intensity levels and compare captured images at different levels to determine further automatic adjustments to the intensity level of at least one of the plurality of separately adjustable illumination sources, until a stopping condition regarding the brightness-related visual artifact is met.
