The Artificial intelligence has undoubtedly started to take the upper hand in the world of smartphones and many are now the producers who put it in their products allowing users to have additional features. Just the machine learning developed in recent times has seen a greater application in the field of photography with advanced algorithms that can be exploited even with interesting and fun options. Here is that Facebook has decided to make it their own and, despite the various storms that have broken down due to various errors in privacy systems, it remains the most used social of all time and even with increasing numbers for active members.
To implement all this and above all to entertain their users, the developers decided to introduce something new that could certainly change the way we share our contents on the social network timeline. Let's talk about the new 3D photos that Mark Zuckerberg's social network seems ready to introduce for everyone.
Facebook: how 3D Photos work
The 3D Photos of Facebook do nothing but turn the classic photos taken with the smartphone in shots ready to be "moved" in every angle giving a three-dimensional depth that is not usually present in a classic 2D photo. The effect is undoubtedly scenic and interesting: we can not get the impression that usually you have with the classic 3D images but in fact it is something rather original.

Specifically, the new visual format of Facebook, other is not that "three-dimensional" photos that have the characteristic of moving following not only the scroll down, but also chasing the position of the mouse cursor, when viewed from a computer , or with the trend of the smartphone when using the mobile application.
The effect of the 3D photos of Facebook is given by a real illusion coming from the complex systems of Artificial Intelligence that, in practice, can distinguish the subject in the foreground from the background, working in perspective and giving the user that effect parallax that allows you to have the feeling of three-dimensional. Substantially, therefore, what creates three-dimensionality is above all the depth of shooting and for this reason only some smartphones can currently make shots that are then able to be used as 3D photos by Facebook.
Facebook: smartphones compatible with 3D Photos
As mentioned, not all smartphones can be used to create new Facebook 3D photos. Specifically here is that the authors of the new feature have declared openly in the instructions to make the photos as only dual cam devices can be able to create shots with the right depth characteristics.
Besides, for the moment, the Android world seems to be excluded and only users with pictures taken from iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X, XS and XS Max will be able to use the Facebook algorithm to get these 3D photos. The photo to be transformed into three-dimensional must have been taken with two sensors capable of acquiring different angles, albeit close, of the same scene. Only in this case, in fact, the artificial intelligence of Facebook will be able to read the information of the photo and process details to return the desired effect.
