Flickr lets users explore 360-degree photos in VR

Flickr has a whole new dimension to its image catalogue, after adding over 14,000 360-degree virtual reality photos, Digital Spy reports.

The Flickr app for Samsung's Gear VR now lets users browse through its new collection of equirectangular 'VR Photos'.

The collection includes a huge range of landscape images, with everything from the Aurora Borealis to the Grand Canyon getting the 360 treatment.

Flickr announced it would expand its collection of virtual reality content back in September.

Bertrand Fan, an engineer with the company, told Engadget that Flickr was expecting a "burgeoning community" to build up around virtual reality.

The developments follow Flickr's radical overhaul which took place this year.
