What's notable about this announcement is that it claims to be 360 degree _3D_ video. The article talks about this. That means it's like a 180 degree 3D video in every direction.
That said, I'm a bit skeptical about how well their method works. If you close one eye and rotate your head, you'll notice parallax effects, and I'm not confident that what Facebook has described will be able to reproduce that. But I'd love to be proved wrong.

- knowaveragejoe 11y agoIf you model the camera in 3D space within a sphere that the video is "projected" upon, would you still notice those parallax effects when closing one eye and looking around?
