Facebook launches 3D photos: What they are and how to have them in your profile
Incoming a new feature that will change the use of photographs on Facebook. Let’s talk about the 3D photos that can be made by the latest generation of smartphones. That’s how.
The Artificial intelligence has undoubtedly started to take the upper hand in the world of smartphones and many are now the producers who put it in their products allowing users to have additional features. Just the machine learning developed in recent times has seen a greater application in the field of photography with advanced algorithms that can be exploited even with interesting and fun options.
Here is that Facebook has decided to make it their own and, despite the various storms that have broken down due to various errors in privacy systems, it remains the most used social of all time and even with increasing numbers for active members.
To implement all this and above all to entertain their users, the developers decided to introduce something new that could certainly change the way we share our contents on the social network timeline. Let’s talk about the new 3D photos that Mark Zuckerberg‘s social network seems ready to introduce for everyone.
Facebook: How 3D Photos work
The 3D Photos of Facebook do nothing but turn the classic photos taken with the smartphone in shots ready to be ” moved ” in every angle giving a three-dimensional depth that is not usually present in a classic 2D photo. The effect is undoubtedly scenic and interesting: we cannot get the impression that usually you have with the classic 3D images, but it is something rather original.
We presented the 3D photos feature and now we're handing the creativity off to you! We can't wait to see what you come up with. If you need a little help getting started, check out our video on how to post a 3D photo. What are you excited to bring to life using this immersive format?

Specifically, the new visual format of Facebook, other is not that ” three-dimensional ” photos that have the characteristic of moving following not only the scroll down, but also chasing the position of the mouse cursor, when viewed from a computer, or with the trend of the smartphone when using the mobile application.
The effect of the 3D photos of Facebook is given by a real illusion coming from the complex systems of Artificial Intelligence that, in practice, can distinguish the subject in the foreground from the background, working in perspective and giving the user that effect parallax that allows you to have the feeling of three-dimensional. Substantially, what creates three-dimensionality is above all the depth of shooting and for this reason only some smartphones can currently make shots that are then able to be used as 3D photos by Facebook.

Facebook: Smartphones compatible with 3D Photos
As mentioned, not all smartphones can be used to create new Facebook 3D photos. Specifically, here is that the authors of the new feature have declared openly in the instructions to make the photos as only dual cam devices can be able to create shots with the right depth characteristics.
Besides, for the moment, the Android world seems to be excluded and only users with pictures taken from iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X, XS and XS Max will be able to use the Facebook algorithm to get these 3D photos. The photo to be transformed into three-dimensional must have been taken with two sensors capable of acquiring different angles, albeit close, of the same scene. Only in this case, the artificial intelligence of Facebook will be able to read the information of the photo and process details to return the desired effect.
The new Facebook 3D Photos can still be viewed by most devices in use today, while to post this new type of images will have to wait for the release of the option for your profile, and if it is not already available will certainly arrive soon next days.
