The move comes as a refreshing break from the flat pictures and selfie craze. The virtual reality pictures can be taken from both Android and iOS. There is no need to buy another set of camera since, it works with the phone users already have.
Techcrunch reports that the app by Google stimulates the same depth and intensity in the pictures as in real life making the photo appear more three dimensional. Far things look far and near things are placed news in photos which gives the virtual reality of a 3D environment.
The pictures are not true 3D because users aren’t be able to move around in the environment but this is still a huge step in picture manipulation. The app allows sound to be recorded with the image which can give a more fulfilling experience.
