Facebook has introduced a new 3D Photo feature, which will convert Portrait shots taken on an iPhone into a three dimensional format. The photos shared via this mode on Facebook are interactive with a three dimensional effect. At the moment, 3D Photos can only be shared and created from an iPhone. But users can experience them on all platforms, be it desktop or mobile or the Android app.

The feature captures the distance between the foreground and background to bring life like sense with depth and movement.
The feature is currently available on Apple iPhones and all the users need to do is capture a portrait image using compatible dual lens smartphones and share it as 3D photo on Facebook. The 3D photo posted on Facebook lets users scroll, pan and tilt in 3D. The photos should be taken in portrait mode.
