1. An electronic device comprising:
a front surface and a rear surface;
at least one front facing camera and at least one rear facing camera;
a memory having stored thereon a camera selection and control module (CSCM) for controlling the at least one front facing camera and the at least one rear facing camera; and
at least one processor communicatively coupled to each of the at least one front facing camera, each of the at least one rear facing camera, and to the memory, the at least one processor executing program code of the CSCM, which enables the electronic device to:
capture, via the at least one front facing camera, a first image stream containing a face of a first user;
determine a first eye gaze direction of the first user based on a first image retrieved from the first image stream, the first eye gaze direction corresponding to a first location where the first user is looking; and
in response to determining that the first user is looking away from the front surface of the electronic device and towards a direction within a field of view (FOV) of the at least one rear facing camera:
identify image characteristics of the first location;
generate at least one camera setting of a selected rear facing camera at least partially based on the first eye gaze direction and identified characteristics of the first location;
adjust the selected rear facing camera using the generated at least one camera setting such that the selected rear facing camera focuses on the first location; and
activate the selected rear facing camera as an active camera.
