GeoGebra software, with its constructivist teaching approach, proves to be a powerful tool for visualizing geometry and preparing future teachers for an immersive educational experience using Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR). By integrating VR and AR capabilities into GeoGebra, educators can revolutionize geometry learning, offering students a dynamic and interactive environment to explore geometric concepts. With VR, students can step into virtual geometric worlds, enhancing their spatial understanding and promoting hands-on learning. They can manipulate shapes, explore 3D constructions, and visualize abstract concepts in a tangible way. On the other hand, AR complements real-world environments by overlaying virtual geometric elements, making learning contextual and engaging. For future teachers, this integration serves as a valuable training ground for incorporating cutting-edge technology into their classrooms. As they experience combined VR and AR-enhanced geometry lessons, they are gaining their confidence and expertise. In this way, GeoGebra empowers educators to create transformative learning opportunities, fosters their deeper understanding of geometry. It also nurtures a generation of tech-savvy teachers ready to shape the future of education. In this contribution, we present our experience with the use of GeoGebra software in combination with VR and AR in the geometry courses for future mathematics teachers. Results of qualitative research indicate the beneficial influence of GeoGebra software on the enhancement of students’ geometrical competences during their teacher training.
