According to Facebook, 3D photo function can convert pictures taken in portrait mode of iPhone 7 Plus / 8 Plus / X / XS / XS Max to 3D display. The portrait mode of the iPhone saves the depth information at the time of shooting and blurs the background of the subject based on it, but based on this depth information, it creates 3D photos on Facebook. According to Facebook, when the distance between the subject and the camera is 3 to 4 feet (about 0.9 to 1.2 m) away, it seems that the best 3D photo can be taken. Also, it is said that people who wore a blue T-shirt in front of a blue wall standing and shooting can not take a good 3D photograph, and it seems that the 3D effect increases if there is a contrast between the background and the subject. In addition, it seems that transparent plastic or glass is inappropriate as the subject, because the depth sensor of the camera can not measure the depth information well.
