A scene from the upcoming film, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, directed by J.J. Abrams.
Star Wars fans are now able to immerse themselves in a scene from the franchise's upcoming film in a promotional 360 video released by Facebook.
The interactive video allows fans to speed by a crashed Star Destroyer on the planet Jakku, seen in recent trailers for Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
If viewers move their phone or drag their cursor over the screen, the video's perspective will change giving a sense of immersion within the scene.
In June, Icelandic musical artist Bjork released a similar 360 music video for her song Stonemilker.
Currently Facebook's new 360 video platform works for desktop and Android phones only, with iPhones coming soon.
