Abstract: A computing device having multiple sensors can operate in different modes, wherein each mode causes data captured by different sensors to be transmitted to a processing component for analysis. For example, a computing device includes one or more pairs of image sensors. Each pair can be configured such that the transmit lines of the sensors are selectively connected to a host processor. The transmission of data from the sensors can be coordinated by having a first sensor instruct a second sensor to transmit data to the host processor when the first sensor has completed transmitting its data to the host processor. In another example, a first sensor can transmit captured data to the host processor while the second sensor waits for a certain amount of time before transmitting its data. Once the certain amount of time has elapsed, the second sensor can begin transmitting its data to the host processor.
