Prior to its extensive redevelopment, the authors captured a tropical garden with significant cultural heritage and reconstructed it for immersive environments. Two approaches were employed; 360° video panorama recording and a photogrammetric capture as foundation for a complete 3D-reconstruction for VR. Common to both approaches, was the use of dancers as agents of user engagement and exploration. This paper evaluates the different methods of collecting the necessary data for each approach and their implementation of dancers in a cultural heritage context.
