Facebook launched today its own dedicated application for Samsung’s Gear VR called Facebook 360 app, especially designed for the aforementioned headset. If you’re an owner of a Gear VR you can download the app through theĀ Oculus app on Samsung handsets (as long as they’re compatible of course).
The reason for creating the Facebook 360 app is simple: easy, unobstructed access to millions of 360-degree videos and photos that are available from the huge social network. Currently the app offers more than 1 million different 360 degree videos and almost 25 million similar images.
