This workpresents a comparison of low-cost 360° videos of cultural heritage displayed acrosstwo devices: a desktop display and an HMD. The study case is the virtual reconstruction of Burgos (Spain) in 1921. The key factors of these videos are shortduration, virtual reconstruction based on 3D modelling and photo editing and theinclusion of real actors performing out looping micro stories. The comparison ofboth displays devices has been carried out by a group of 32 students from theUniversity of Burgos. The validation includes user satisfaction, knowledge acquisition and visual identification. The results are the following: 1) better knowledgeacquisition and immersion in the HMD group, 2) better user satisfaction for thedesktop group and 3) more fault identification related to the characters for theHMD group. Looking at these results, the most important elements to improve arethe integration of characters and increase the length of the videos.
