Sharing HTC Pan 360 photos to Facebook or VR

Facebook recently started allowing 360 spherical photos to be shared as of June 2016 and I was stoked since the M8 Windows phone has the Pan 360 feature. However I was disappointed to see the panorama photo I took from the middle of our lake show up a plain old rectangle. :( However, after some Google searching I learned that Facebook is using the Camera make/model in the jpg metadata to determine if a photo should be a photo sphere.

This tutorial worked! http://ift.tt/299l0gH
However you do NOT need all the crazy software though. Just do this:
1. Copy photo to PC
2. Right click > Properties > details
3. Edit the Camera Make = RICOH
4. Edit the Camera Model = RICOH THETA S
5. Upload photo to Facebook from PC
6. That's it!
