NASA posts Facebook 360 video from Mars February 3, 2016 - 10:31 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - NASA has posted a Facebook 360 video taken by the Mars Curiosity rover from the surface of Mars that Mark Zuckerberg himself re-posted and called "neat," Engadget reports. Zuckerberg added that the video was stitched together by Facebook's 360 degree video team, and is made up of 57 separate stills - in fact, it's more like a panorama than a video. The images were snapped by the rover's robotic arm-mounted Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) on the northwestern flank of Mount Sharp, and show the steep Namib sand dunes. Ideally, users will view the video from VR headset like the Oculus Rift or Samsung's Gear VR. However, you can also view the video from every angle with a regular smartphone just by rotating it around. Zuckerberg said the video "is just the beginning of what we can do with virtual reality and 360 degree. Pretty amazing."
