Today the company Facebook launched a new function for the dedicated iPhone and iPad application, it being able to play video clips filmed at 360 degrees, these being displayed in the users' news feeds.
Facebook started from September to display in Android and the web version of his website video clips filmed at 360 degrees, but only from today iPhone or iPad owners will have the opportunity to view this type of multimedia content on their terminals.
To support the creators of 360-degree video clips, the Facebook company also launched a special website that offers them tips for creating this type of video clips, and within Facebook will be integrated options for editing the clips after uploading.
Moreover, the Facebook company is already working on integrating support for uploading 360-degree video clips in some of the most popular cameras on the market capable of recording this type of content and uploading it directly to Facebook.
360 videos can now be viewed on iOS devices, in addition to Android devices and the web. For publishers, this means that people can watch your 360 videos in more places. Additionally, people using a Samsung Gear VR and supported Samsung smartphone can easily play 360 videos from News Feed in their Gear VR, enabling a more immersive viewing experience.
Although the Facebook company will display 360-degree video clips in the application for iPhone or iPad, they will not come without ads in some countries, certain companies in the US are already creating ads of this kind, so at least there users will have an experience interrupted by they.
Facebook has announced that it will update its servers and probably the application for iPhone and iPad with the idea of providing support for viewing 360-degree video clips, but it is not known when we will start to see them including in Romania.
