The feature would be available to everyone in the coming weeks.
Facebook
is rolling out 3D
photos in News Feed and Virtual Reality (VR) to enable users to
view and create 3D photos with life-like dimensions including depth
and movement.
Users
would have choices to adjust and experiment with creating multiple
layers, contrasting colours and textures in order to create photos in
3D.
"Everyone
will be able to see 3D photos in News Feed and VR today, while the
ability to create and share 3D photos begins to roll out today,"
the Facebook
360 team wrote in a blog post on Thursday.
The
technology behind 3D photos captures the distance between the subject
in the foreground and the background.
"Just
take a photo in 'Portrait' mode using your compatible dual-lens
smartphone, then share as a 3D photo on Facebook where you can
scroll, pan and tilt to see the photo in realistic 3D,"
The
social networking giant would also allow users to view 3D photos in
VR using the "Oculus Go" browser or Firefox on Oculus Rift
by dragging, tapping or tilting their heads to experience the three
dimensions in photos.
The
feature would be available to everyone in the coming weeks.
"We're
listening to feedback on this new format and we continue rolling it
out to everyone," the post added.
The
feature was announced earlier in May by Facebook, during its "F8"
event.
