Yahoo on Wednesday unveiled a new virtual reality Flickr app 'Flickr VR' for compatible Samsung Galaxy smartphones that allows to dive into the 360° photo experience via Samsung Gear VR powered by Oculus.
When users open the Flickr app on Samsung Gear VR, they will see a carousel of the top curated 360° photos from Flickr. Users need to select any image and they will instantly be transported to another place and time.
“Over the years, Flickr users have uploaded tens of thousands of 360° photos and today we’re offering a new way to explore and view these images”, said Bertrand Fan, Principal Engineer in a blog post. “Flickr is the best platform for 360° photos because we respect the image quality of uploaded photos, and we want to be one of the best ways to access engaging virtual reality experiences.”
Fan added that people who view Flickr 360° photos for the first time “do not want to take the Samsung Gear VR off.”
Flickr is an image hosting and video hosting website, and web services suite that was created by Ludicorp in 2004 and acquired by Yahoo in 2005.
