Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge: How to Take a 3D Selfie with Virtual Shot Mode in Camera App in Android 5.1.1 Lollipop

If you're bored with the flat selfie and want to show yourself in a new way, you can use the virtual shot mode in the Camera app in your Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge so you can show yourself in 3D or in 180 degree panorama of your surroundings. When this mode is enabled, the camera will take a series of photos while you're circling the phone around yourself to create multi-directional views of yourself portrait. This mode is best used when you want to show others about your new look in different angles, where you are, what surroundings look like, etc.
