Abstract:
The article substantiates the feature of using augmented reality (AR) in university training of future IT

Nicola Tesla, Arloon Geometry, AR Geometry, GeoGebra 3D Graphing Calculator, etc.), disclose the main
advantages of the applications. The methodological basis for the implementation of future IT specialists
research activities towards the development and use of AR applications is substantiated. The content of
the activities of the student’s scientific club “Informatics studios” of Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University is
developed. Students as part of the scientific club activity updated the mobile application, and the model
bank corresponding to the topics: “Polyhedrons” for 11th grade, as well as “Functions, their properties
and graphs” for 10th grade. The expediency of using software tools to develop a mobile application
(Android Studio, SDK, NDK, QR Generator, FTDS Dev, Google Sceneform, Poly) is substantiated. The
content of the stages of development of a mobile application is presented. As a result of a survey of
