Rest of the Day: You Can Now Post 360-Degree Photos to Facebook
Facebook can now convert your panoramic photos to 360-degree immersive photos. Almost any smartphone can take panoramas, so it’s a fun way to have a little interactive experience. My selfies will never be the same.
- The 360-degree photo feature is launching today , according to Mark Zuckerberg, so you should see this feature soon, if not yet. You can upload existing 360-degree photos or turn your panoramas into interactive images that can be viewed by tilting your phone like a window into an immersive space, or just use old-fashioned drag and drop on your desktop. Can’t wait to post my full 360 branch. [Mark Zuckerberg]
- Keeping pace with Lyft , Uber will soon allow you to book rides in advance. This feature is currently being tested in Seattle and will only be available to business travelers, but they ultimately assume that you will be able to book a car 30 days in advance. [Uber via The Verge ]
- The hackers claim to have 32 million Twitter logins that they are trying to sell on the darknet, but Twitter is confident that their systems have not been compromised. They are most likely trying to sell old data, possibly from recent Myspace and LinkedIn hacks, but you should still enable two-factor authentication . [TechCrunch]
- Soon you will be able to use NVIDIA Shield as a media server with Plex. Plex, which somehow manages to develop a version of its software for every OS and gadget in existence for the benefit of all of us, brings its software to the powerful NVIDIA set-top box . It supports 4K video at 60fps so it doesn’t slouch. [Plex]
