Introducing New Features for 3D Photos on Facebook
https://ocul.us/2UiDouR
Since the launch of 3D photos last fall, we’ve seen people embrace this new
way of sharing memories with a fun, lifelike dimension in News Feed—both on
mobile and web—and VR, where it’s best enjoyed. Today, we’re announcing
three new features for 3D photos on Facebook as we continue to grow the
product.
3D Photos in Stories
Starting today, you can share 3D photos through Facebook Stories, a place
where people share real, everyday moments. Just like with 3D photos you share
to News Feed, you’ll be able to see who has viewed, reacted to, and
responded to your story. The difference is that Stories are only visible for
24 hours, so they always feel current and help people catch up on what
happened that day.
To post your 3D photo to Facebook Stories, upload them through the News Feed
as you do with 3D photos today. After you press the share button, you’ll see
an option to share on either News Feed or Your Story.
3D Photos Creation on the Web
We’ve also seen a lot of original art creation that involves hacking
together multiple steps to bring 3D photo scenes to life using depth and
movement. Today, we’re making this process easier and more streamlined. We’
re excited to announce the ability to post 3D photos from the web, on your
computer, in addition to iPhone dual-camera devices.
3D Photos Creation on Android
We’ve heard you and we’re happy to announce that next month, we’ll begin
rolling out the ability to create and share 3D photos on Android, starting
with Samsung Galaxy devices with dual cameras or Portrait mode. Supported
models will include: Galaxy Note 8, Galaxy Note 9, Galaxy S9+, Galaxy S10e,
Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+, and Galaxy Fold. Stay tuned for more updates on
Android support—we can’t wait to see what you create!
We hope these updates to 3D photos will help you share your memories and
photos in a new way. Please follow Facebook 360, 3D Photos on Facebook, and
The 3D Gallery to stay up-to-date on new 3D photo feature releases and see
what the community is creating on a daily basis.
Everything looks better in 3D.
