Facebook joins YouTube in showing 360-degree videos – including Star Wars

Facebook put 360 degree videos and have a star wars version. Viewers can use there mouse to look around the video as its the new effect of the video. partners for its launch, including Star Wars, Discovery, GoPro, Vice, Saturday Night Live and basketball star LeBron James. This would be to make Facebook more interesting as youtube does this as well. This would show the two media platforms can be used. Facebook want move forward with this launch as with the Oculus rift spending around $2bn. This can also be used for phones when moving around.

1. Facebook and youtube do this as well as they're typing to make it big it comes in 720p videos

2. Facebook did videos like star wars while moving around and many other videos

3. Youtube did it first then Facebook did it 6 months later

In my opinion i think its good that they're moving forward with Facebook and Youtube videos. Its a good effect as to the reason of actually seeing around you in a video. It makes it fun and new to use as its for the users to be entertained. The disadvantage is the movement as what if you just want to be still and see a normal video.
