Not sure how often consumers will use as most don't have the right equipment to capture these videos, but great for #brands that want to create unique content.
Here's a cool example of Facebook 360 looking over New York.

@rrhoover You don't need any special equipment for the 360 photos on Facebook. Any panoramic pic will convert automatically.
@rrhoover If you don't have a 360 camera, I suggest using these apps to create 360 photos:
- iPhone or iPad camera panorama mode
- Samsung Galaxy's panorama mode or surround shot mode (full 360)
- Street View
- Google Camera (Android)
- Cardboard Camera (Android)
- 360 Panorama by Occipital (iOS)
Also, a list of sweet 360 cameras that we support: https://facebook360.fb.com/learn...
So many creative possibilities with this announcement

The one little feature that might get overlooked but is immensely cool is the little directional icon that moves as you pan around the image, indicating bearing. It's very useful: https://twitter.com/jasonsalas/s...
The way this works is actually amazing. I wouldn't mind if my whole news feed was filled up with this, though I would spend way too much time on Facebook again if it happened
As early adopter to 360 camera, I have been waited for this feature for a long time. It was a big pain for us that we couldn't let people who shot the 360 photo together to access it through social network. Glad Facebook now provided a solution.
Love this. Facebook 360 is an important incremental step towards more immersive experiences using VR and AR. Really excited to see companies like Facebook and Snapchat bring VR and AR to consumers.

@jonathanzwhite Same here. We've been using a Theta S since the day it came out and having to link to an external host was a giant pain.
