Setup and Compatibility

You can check if your phone or tablet is compatible with Augmented Reality on the lists provided for Android and iOS. Read more about setting up Augmented Reality (AR) mode for the GeoGebra 3D Calculator on your device by checking out our friend Tim's Quick Setup Instructions.

Get started with Augmented Reality (AR) mode

Switch to the Augmented Reality Mode by tapping the AR button in the bottom right corner of the 3D Graphics View. After tapping the AR button move around slowly to detect a surface. When a surface is detected a square appears on the screen. To put your object there, just tap on the screen to place the object. Now you can see your construction in your surrounding. You can scale, translate and rotate your model using gestures. Use the Camera button to take a screenshot and the 3D button to switch back to the 3D Graphics View. If you select the settings gear (upper right corner), choose AR Ratio to display the ratio of distance in the GeoGebra coordinate system to distance in the real world. For real world distance, you can choose between metric (cm) or custom (in) units.

Explore examples

If you prefer starting with an existing object, you can find great examples through the app's Search. To explore examples open the Menu and select Search. There you can find a lot of exciting math examples and explore them in the real world.

Algebra View

While you are in AR Mode you can use the Algebra View e.g. to create functions or to use sliders. Just tap the Algebra View button and enter a function into the Input Bar. The function appears immediately in the AR View. You can use the Visibility button in the Algebra View to show and hide objects. Use the More button to duplicate or delete an object. There you can also open the Settings to change the color, the opacity or the style.

Create objects in the 3D Graphics View

To create your own objects using the tools from the Tools View, switch to the 3D Graphics View by selecting the 3D button and create your objects there. After creating an object you can switch to AR Mode and see your object in your surrounding.
