Of course, needs to be a smartphone with an accelerometer/gyroscope.

Edit: Only enabled on Android at this time.

Also works in Chrome like standard old VR since the mid 90s, luckily. It's a lot more fun with animation though. I'd love to make a vid like this myself, but the rendering for 360 degrees would be crazy.

Oh that was cool! Do they mean Chrome as in the webbrowser? Because it pretty much sucks on desktop, the look button is blocked by the black bar that pops ups everytime you move the mouse. Works great on my S4 though.

Yes, Chrome the desktop browser. Worked fine for me by just clicking and dragging on the picture, just like any other panoramic viewer.
