1. A method comprising:
determining a disparity between first image data from a first camera and second image data from a second camera, wherein the first camera and the second camera are in a stereoscopic configuration, and wherein the disparity comprises a difference in placement of one or more objects in the first image data relative to the second image data; and
adjusting one or more of the first camera or the second camera, based on the disparity and sensor data from a sensor other than the first camera or the second camera, to calibrate the stereoscopic configuration of the first camera and the second camera to achieve stereoscopic camera distance functionality.
