Facebook has introduced the Facebook 360 app for Samsung Gear VR, powered by Oculus and this is an exciting new way to explore Facebook 360 photos and videos.

360 photo allows users to view the scene from every angle, above, below, behind, and next to you. You can create 360 photos by using special 360 camera hardware, taking a panorama on your iPhone, or snapping a photo sphere from certain apps on your Android phone, including Street View and Google Camera.

360 can take you into the action with your favorite sports teams, brings you behind the scenes at awards shows, transport you to beautiful places around the world, and put you at the center of breaking news moments like never before.

To download the Facebook 360 app for Gear VR, open the Oculus app on your Gear VR-compatible Samsung device and search for Facebook 360. Users will get more details at the official Oculus website.
