1. A method of generating three-dimensional video data, the method comprising:

obtaining two-dimensional video data from a scene having a plurality of objects;

identifying objects in the scene;

obtaining relative positions of the plurality of objects;

encoding the two-dimensional video data to generate encoded two-dimensional video data;

generating relative positions metadata based on the relative positions of the plurality of objects; and

providing a three-dimensional depth factor metadata for operation on the relative positions metadata, the three-dimensional depth factor metadata including an adjustable scaling effect based on a rendering environment selectable from a plurality of rendering environments.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein prior to the obtaining relative positions of the plurality of objects, the method further comprises: obtaining additional two-dimensional video data corresponding to different views of the scene.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein prior to the encoding of the two-dimensional video data, the method further comprises: post-processing the two-dimensional video data to generate post-processed two-dimensional video data, and wherein the encoding uses the post-processed two-dimensional video data to generate the encoded two-dimensional video data.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying uses one of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, manual tape measurements, identifiable pane references in the scene, or automatically generated values from a computer rendering.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

applying a three-dimensional modeling algorithm to the encoded two-dimensional video data, the relative positions metadata and the three-dimensional depth factor metadata to render the three-dimensional video data.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the applying the three-dimensional modeling algorithm calculates left images and right images for the rendering of the three-dimensional video data.

7. The method of claim 1 further comprising applying a three-dimensional modeling algorithm to the relative positions metadata and the three-dimensional depth factor for rendering one or more of the plurality of objects.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein three-dimensional depth factor metadata varies the relative positions of one or more of the identified plurality of objects with respect to a reference point.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein three-dimensional depth factor metadata is within a negative-to-positive range with respect to the reference point.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the reference point is a geometric plane of a rendering display.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the relative positions metadata use a reference point contained in the scene.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the relative position metadata use a reference point corresponding to a geometric plane of a rendering display.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the relative position metadata use a global reference point.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the relative position metadata use a plurality of reference points, each of the plurality of reference points corresponding to one or more of the plurality of objects.
