Important: Some functionality for this component may be restricted in certain environments or browsers.
The 360° Viewer component in Ad Builder allows you to rotate a video or image 360 degrees around its axis. The 360° Viewer component works on desktop and mobile, using touch and mouse events to rotate the object.
The feature is fully responsive (when placed on a responsive banner/panel).
The 360° feature supports the following functionality.
Enabling Accelerometer support on mobile takes advantage of the device orientation hardware, or accelerometer, found in smart devices and allows developers to manipulate the video or image.
A Show 360° Reminder icon appears for a few seconds when the image starts running indicating to the user that the ad has 360° capabilities.
The view angle is the angle at which a display can be viewed with acceptable visual performance. The 360° Viewer component supports a range 30°-120° degrees, with a default of 60° degrees.
The 360 Viewer supports running VR images on mobile phones. If a VR image is detected on a VR-supported device, a VR icon appears indicating it is a VR-enabled ad. The VR icon is only visible when viewing the ad on a supported mobile. You can click on the VR icon to run the ad on one of the following Google VR Viewers:
-
Google Cardboard I/O 2014
-
Google Cardboard I/O 2015
Note: This feature is embedded in the 360 Viewer and requires no configuration.
