Facebook rolls out 3D Photos in news feed, VR

Facebook recently rolled out a feature that turns photos into a 3D image–the 3D Photos.

Users can do this by capturing a photo in portrait mode using a compatible dual-lens camera smartphone. Viewers can scroll, pan, and tilt the image to see it in 3D.
