The Facebook seems to be trying to make VR an integral part of its platform, and today's announcement probably isn't a huge surprise: 360-degree photos are coming to your news feed.
What can you do with these photos?
If you click and drag with your mouse, or if you move it phone you will be able to see the entire environment around the central subject, and of course the central subject of the photo from all sides. The new feature will be compatible with Oculus Rift as well as Gear VR.
360 degree photos are much easier to λήψη compared to video 360 degrees as they require nothing more than a simple smartphone.
With the new social networking feature, users will be able to upload flat panoramas, Google photospheres, or 360 camera cameras.
Google tried first to spread 360 degrees with the release of Photospheres three years ago, but we did not see it adopted as it was quite inconvenient.
Facebook did not announce the exact date of release of the new feature, just said that 360 photos would be available on mobile devices and on the internet within the next few weeks.
