I seek to use the two cameras in the front of my HTC Vive Pro in order to implement SLAM using Stereo Vision. I would prefer if this was possible using Python, however, I cannot find a good way to open up both cameras (I can only open the right camera with cv2.VideoCapture(1)). The device is currently simply connected by a usb.

What I have so far is

import cv2

cv2.namedWindow("Camera 1")
cv2.namedWindow("Camera 2")

stereo = cv2.VideoCapture(1)

if stereo.isOpened():
    rval, frame = stereo.read()
else:
    rval = False

while rval:
    rval_left, left = stereo.retrieve(0)
    rval_right, right = stereo.retrieve(1)
    cv2.imshow("Camera 1", left)
    cv2.imshow("Camera 2", right)
    key = cv2.waitKey(20)
    if key == 27: 
        # exit on ESC
        break

cv2.destroyAllWindows()

But stereo is not really stereo as expected. cv2.VideoCapture(0) is the laptop webcam and all other cv2.VideoCapture(...) returns None. I hope somebody can help.
