if it is based on panoramic pics, i guess it s a 360 mono direction right? not all directions
Andy Huang
@ourielohayon panoramas are mono direction (tho there's a bit of vertical movement), photo spheres (full 360) you can move in all directions

@ahuang7 what is photo spheres? a new device?
Andy Huang
@ourielohayon no it's a file format that's used to show full 360 photos. Most 360 photo apps and cameras add photo sphere metadata into their photos to specify things like field of view, width, starting position, etc

I wish they provided a basic tool somewhere for editing/testing/fixing metadata for equirectangular/panorama pictures. My old photospheres won't upload correctly and any edits I make on the phone will strip the relevant metadata from the photospheres :(

@ahuang7 thanks, I'm glad the metadata requirements are very simple

@ahuang7 check out our app UTeleport that makes it really easy for publishers (https://play.google.com/store/ap...) - we're gonna roll out 360 photosharing to FB really soon, plus we integrated OSC with all the cameras :)

love this. the experience is immersive but I think consumers still need to get used to it. I'm familiar with it since I worked with @giroptic back in 2014 but those that have never seen 360 photos will take some time to learn how to experience it.

I wish it would work with any pano from Lightroom, Photoshop, etc. But right now it's only mobile phones and specific devices.

If I was to be unkind, I'd just say that Facebook is playing catch-up with Google+ again. But given the downward spiral of G+, I can only say that this is a good thing and probably timed better than G+ too.

Not working for me. Panos made natively in iPhone just showing as normal.
