Claim One:
1. A method for recording stereoscopic 3D video, comprising: recording sequences of stereoscopic images by multiple image sensors of a stereoscopic video recording device; combining the recorded sequences of stereoscopic images into a stereoscopic video sequence; and embedding calibration information into the stereoscopic video sequence in a real time as the sequences of stereoscopic images are being recorded, said embedding comprising: receiving the stereoscopic video sequence; embedding calibration information in at least two ways into the stereoscopic video sequence, a first way comprising embedding a static calibration information once per the stereoscopic video sequence, the static calibration information comprising a lens distortion including a distance between a lens and an image sensor, a second way comprising embedding a time varying calibration information once per frame of the stereoscopic video sequence, the time varying calibration information comprising inertial measurement data, the calibration information relating to the multiple image sensors of the stereoscopic video recording device and embedded into a portion of an aggregated stereoscopic video frame that stores the information that relates to the multiple image sensors; combining multiple stereoscopic video sequences recorded by multiple stereoscopic recording devices; embedding calibration information from the multiple stereoscopic video sequences into each frame of a combined stereoscopic video sequence using a video steganography process, wherein at least some of the calibration information relates to the multiple stereoscopic recording devices that captured the multiple stereoscopic video sequences; embedding a portion of calibration information into the stereoscopic video sequence in the real time by a graphical processing unit (GPU) via an image steganography process, as the sequences of stereoscopic images are being recorded; embedding another portion of the calibration information into a metadata section of a video file for storing the stereoscopic video sequence; and sending the stereoscopic video sequence comprising the embedded calibration information to a playback device.
