Abstract

Methods for selecting pairs of cameras in a multicamera array configured to image a scene to generate stereoscopic views, and associated systems and devices, are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a representative method includes selecting a pair of cameras in the multicamera array from which to generate a stereoscopic view, and receiving images of the scene from the selected pair of the cameras. The method further includes cropping the images based on a known calibration of the cameras and a desired disparity, and displaying the cropped images on a display device to generate the stereoscopic view. The desired disparity can correspond to an interpupillary distance of a user.
