Facebook announces the roll out of 3D photos which is a new way to share memories and moments in both the News Feed and VR. You can scroll, pan and tilt to see the photo in realistic 3D and you can also view 3D photos in VR using the Oculus Browser on Oculus Go or Firefox on Oculus Rift.
Facebook says that the 3D Photos use the depth maps that are stored with “Portrait” photos taken on iPhone 7+, 8+, X or XS. You’ll get the best results if your main subject is three or four feet away, and to really make it pop, try to capture scenes with multiple layers of depth, including something in the foreground and something in the background.
3D Photos Now Rolling out on Facebook and in VR
Today we're starting to roll out 3D photos in both News Feed and VR. 3D photos bring scenes to life with depth and movement. Simply take a photo in Portrait mode using your compatible dual-lens smartphone, then share as a 3D photo on Facebook where you can scroll, pan and tilt to see the photo in realistic 3D.Everyone will be able to see 3D photos in News Feed and VR today, and the ability to create and post 3D photos starts rolling out today to some users, and will be available to everyone in the coming weeks.

Facebook says for better results, try to avoid transparent objects like clear plastic or glass, as they aren’t always accurately captured by depth sensors. The ability to create and share 3D photos is already available and will be available to everyone in the coming weeks.
