Claim One:
1. A device, comprising: an image sensor having a front side and a back side, the back side being opposite the front side, with the image sensor configured to be illuminated from the front side and configured to be illuminated from the back side; a first exterior lens having a first optical axis and exposed to an exterior of the device to transmit incident light from the exterior of the device to the front side of the image sensor; a second exterior lens having a second optical axis and exposed to the exterior of the device to transmit incident light from the exterior of the device to the back side of the image sensor, the second exterior lens arranged in a same plane as the first exterior lens, wherein the first optical axis of the first exterior lens and the second optical axis of the second exterior lens are perpendicular to the same plane, are in parallel with each other, and are separated by a distance between fifty and seventy eight millimeters as measured from centers of the first exterior lens and the second exterior lens; a first shutter arranged to selectively pass light to illuminate the front side of the image sensor; a first interior lens disposed between the front side of the image sensor and the first exterior lens; a second shutter arranged to selectively pass light to illuminate the back side of the image sensor; a second interior lens disposed between the back side of the image sensor and the second exterior lens; and a controller communicatively coupled to the first shutter and the second shutter, the controller configured to: control opening and closing of the first shutter and the second shutter, wherein if the first shutter is open the second shutter is closed, and if the second shutter is open the first shutter is closed, determine first image data by causing the front side of the image sensor to be exposed to the incident light, and determine second image data by causing the back side of the image sensor to be exposed to the incident light, wherein the first image data and the second image data correspond to different perspectives of a same scene.
