Download instructions For manufacturers

1. Cardboard

Corrugated cardboard sheet, preferably E Flute (corrugated cardboard comes in a variety of thicknesses called "flutes"), available at many art supply stores and online . For best results, you should look for strong, thin cardboard (sturdy shoe box rather than moving box). Minimum size: 8.75in (22cm) by 22in (56cm), and 0.06in (1.5mm) thickness. Online sources here and here

2. Lenses

This is the trickiest component. Lenses that have a 45mm focal distance might work. Biconvex lenses work best because they prevent distortion around the edges.

3. Magnets

One neodymium ring magnet - like this or this - and one ceramic disk magnet - like this or this. Approximate size: 0.75in (19mm) diameter and 0.12in (3mm) thickness.

4. Rubber band

One rubber band, to prevent the phone from sliding out. Minimum length of 3.2in (8cm).

5. NFC tag (optional)

One sticker NFC tag. Program it with the URL cardboard://v1.0.0

Make it yours

Whether you're buying a pre-assembled viewer or building one from scratch, there's almost no limit to how creative you can get with Cardboard, as these eye-catching examples prove.

Create some 360 degree videos

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Facebook 360

With Facebook 360, publishers can showcase their most compelling stories in a new and immersive way, bringing the viewer inside a different world through 360 photos and videos.

360 Video

To create 360 videos, a special set of cameras is used to record all 360 degrees of a scene simultaneously. This means that when the video is playing on Facebook, viewers can choose what angle they want to see it from. On the web, this is done by dragging around the video with your cursor. On mobile devices, viewers can drag with their finger - or even just turn their device.

360 video is currently viewable on the web and on Android and iOS devices.

Creating for 360 Video

Optimize for the viewer's comfort

Avoid rotational and translational movement within your video. Instead, fade in and out of camera positions.

Consider the audio experience

We've recently introduced spatial audio to 360 videos on News Feed, read more below to learn how to add spatial audio to your production flow.

Use our 360 Publisher Tools and Insights to better inform your video production

As 360 video continues to grow and engage millions of people on Facebook, we're continually working to improve how 360 video is discovered in News Feed, the experience for users once they've engaged with a video, and finally the insights that video publishers receive, enabling them to keep experimenting with, and improving their 360 video content.

Learn more about our tools and insights here.

360 Audio

Think of spatial audio, also known as 3D audio, as an immersive sphere of audio surrounding the user. Spatial audio replicates the physics of how humans hear sound in real life, but is delivered over a normal pair of headphones. As audiences look around in a 360 video, the sound updates itself automatically and in real-time, helping to place them in the context of the scene, increasing the level of immersion and creating presence.

We're excited to offer the Spatial Workstation tools to enable you to add spatial audio to your 360 production efforts.

The Facebook 360 Spatial Workstation comes with an Encoder, that is used to package a .h264 encoded mp4 video with spatial audio output from the tools. It accepts the following audio formats as input

8-channel audio output from the spatial workstation plugin

B-Format FuMA or ambiX (4 channels/1st order)

Optional head-locked stereo audio

This will add all the relevant metadata that will create the final file ready for upload directly to Facebook.

More details on using the Encoder, and other helpful articles can be found here

Additionally, files with YouTube's Spherical Video and Spatial Audio Metadata are supported and can be directly uploaded to Facebook.

Visit our website at facebook360.fb.com/spatial-workstation to download the tools and find great examples of 360 videos with spatial audio, alongside tutorials to help you get started with 360 Audio!

360 Photos

360 Photos allow you to share a more immersive experience with your followers by taking them behind the scenes and putting them at the center of the action.

There are a few ways to create a 360 photo:

Take a panorama with an iOS device or Samsung Galaxy phone

Capture a 360-degree photo on your phone using an app like Street View or Google Camera

Facebook Surround 360

A durable and high quality 3D-360 camera system now available on GitHub.

We have created a durable 3D-360 camera system that produces 3D, truly spherical footage and includes stitching technology that seamlessly marries the video from 17 cameras, vastly reducing post-production effort and time.

Connecting through VR is an amazing, immersive experience, and we want to do our part to make sure more people have a chance to experience it in the future. With this in mind, we're open-sourcing the Facebook Surround 360 camera system to accelerate the growth of the 3D-360 ecosystem by enabling developers to leverage the designs and code, and content creators to build and tailor the camera for their own production needs. Both the camera design blueprint and stitching code are now available on GitHub for anyone to contribute to, build on top of, improve or distribute.
