Abstract
There is disclosed a stereographic camera system and a method of operating a stereographic camera system. The stereoscopic camera system may include a left camera and a right camera having respective left and right lenses and an IOD mechanism to set an interocular distance between the left and right cameras. A foreground distance sensor may provide an output indicative of a distance to a closest foreground object. A controller may causes the IOD mechanism to set the interocular distance based on, in part, the output of the foreground distance sensor.
