As with most kinds of technology, this largely depends on how you use\u00a0it.<\/h4>\n<p>One of the most compelling aspects of VR (at least according to us) is the ability to capture meaningful moments in your life as they happen?\u2014?weddings, kids\u2019 first steps, vacations, even the everyday?\u2014?and go back and re-experience them\u00a0later.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a powerful idea: you can immerse yourself or a loved one in any moment that you\u2019ve captured with a 360 camera?\u2014?now, or years from now. Re-witness your wedding. Relive your baby\u2019s first steps. Re-experience the vacation that changed your life. Sure, it might not be the same thing as being there. But it\u2019s the next best\u00a0thing.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you don\u2019t need a VR headset to view or share 360 images.

So instead, here we explain how to easily view your own 360 photos in virtual\u00a0reality.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll need before you\u00a0start:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your smartphone (iPhone, Android,\u00a0etc.)<\/li>\n<li>Any <a href=\"https:\/\/vr.google.com\/cardboard\/get-cardboard\/\"><strong>Google Cardboard<\/strong><\/a>-compatible viewer.
