Mitigation of obstacles while capturing media content

A device comprising:

• at least one sensor configured to capture media content;
• a network interface;
• and
• a processor communicatively coupled to the at least one sensor and the network interface, wherein the processor is configured to:
• detect blockage of the at least one sensor;
• in response to the detected blockage of the at least one sensor, communicate via the network interface with at least one secondary device to activate a corresponding sensor on the at least one secondary device which causes the corresponding sensor to capture media content simultaneously with the at least one blocked sensor on the device;
• and
• modify the media content captured by the at least one blocked sensor based on the media content captured by the corresponding sensor on the at least one secondary device to mitigate effects of the blockage of the at least one blocked sensor.

A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having a computer readable program stored therein, wherein the computer readable program, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:

• detect blockage of a sensor on a primary device while capturing media content with the sensor on the primary device;
• in response to the detected blockage of the sensor, communicate with at least one secondary device in an area of the primary device to activate a corresponding sensor on the at least one secondary device which causes the corresponding sensor to capture media content simultaneously with the blocked sensor on the primary device;
• and
• modify the media content captured by the blocked sensor on the primary device based on the media content captured by the corresponding sensor on the at least one secondary device to mitigate effects of the blockage of the sensor on the primary device.
