Social media giant Facebook on Thursday introduced a new feature that enables users upload and view 360-
degrees photos right in the News Feed, a media report
said.
“Along with 360 photos from your friends and family,
you can discover stunning new 360 photos on Facebook from public figures, publishers, and other
organisations,” technology website The Verge quoted
Andy Huang, Product Manager, Facebook, as saying.
“360 photos give you the ability to take the stage in
front of 100,000 fans with Paul McCartney, get behind
—the—scenes access to the Supreme Court via The New York Times, visit the International Space Station
with NASA, and more,” he said.
After capturing a panorama or 360—degrees photo
with smartphone camera or a third—party app, users
can now post the photo directly to the social network,
where it will be converted into an image that can be viewed on desktop or any smartphone, the report
added.
Users will be able to identify the photos by the
compass icon floating on the upper right hand corner
of the image.
All they need to do is click and drag on the image to explore the complete environment, or simply move
their smartphone around. Users will be able to identify the photos by the
compass icon floating on the upper right hand
corner of the image.
