This work is part of an ongoing research entitled “The 360º immersive: investigation, representation and digital immersion of Rio de Janeiro city during 19th and 20th centuries”, which aims at the theoretical, conceptual and instrumental analysis and discussion of the Panorama of Rio de Janeiro by Victor Meirelles and Henri Langerock in the Unity Game Engine. It presents an historical-interpretive method with application in Digital Graphics. To this end, it was considered necessary: to recreate the 360º immersive experience of the Panorama in real time; its context experience during the historical layers of 1885, 1915, 2020, and a fourth combination between previous layers, based in specific geometric models; programming in C# the movement of the player-observer, scenes, interaction with objects and the player's own navigation through the game menu.
