We are pleased to announce that our fully fledged GeoGebra 5 with 3D View is now also available for Android tablets and iPads. We’ve got a little more work to do before we can launch in the Windows Store, but we will bring you that version soon too!

We’re very excited about this update as you can now enjoy the same GeoGebra power and experience on your tablet like just like on your laptop or desktop. Some highlights:

• Save and load directly to/from your GeoGebraTube profile
• All views: Graphics, Algebra, Spreadsheet, CAS and 3D
• 3D supported on most Android tablets and iPads with iOS 8+
• Full CAS View available on Android 4.4+ and iOS for exact calculations
• Context menus available using long-touch on objects and views
• Object Properties and Construction Protocol
• All 1000 GeoGebra commands supported
• 120,000+ GeoGebra searchable materials at your fingertips
• New Tablet Tutorials

As you may know we have been working on adding the 3D View to GeoGebra for a long time now. It’s been a much longer journey than we first imagined. In particular since 2008, the need has arisen to have 3D working first in Java (JOGL), and then with WebGL / HTML5 technologies.

Now, we are ready to show the first beta version of our new GeoGebra Chrome App with 3D View.

Of course we’re still developing the Java desktop version alongside and GeoGebraTube will support displaying 3D files using WebGL / HTML5 as well. Our 3D applets already work on devices with Android 4.4 (and Android 4.3 devices supporting WebGL), for example, Nexus 7 Phones and Nexus 10 Tablets. If you have an iPad you will have to wait for iOS 8 to be released later this year to use our 3D applets on GeoGebraTube.

With our new GeoGebra Office App, you can now easily include interactive GeoGebra worksheets in Microsoft Word. You can search GeoGebraTube and will get a nice preview image of the worksheet in your document after pressing the “insert” button. Just click the play button to open it in a popup window and enjoy GeoGebra’s full interactivity!

Try our brand new GeoGebra 4.4 with:

• More powerful and faster CAS View
• Sign-in to GeoGebraTube to search / share materials
• Object Properties and Graphics View 2 now also available in our Web Application
• GeoGebraTube now supports Private & Shared materials as well as Public as well as HTML5 applets with multiple views
• New language: Latvian
• Please find all details in our GeoGebra 4.4 Release Notes

As well as being much faster, the new CAS View can tackle harder problems than before and solve coordinate geometry problems exactly:

Have fun playing and thanks for your feedback in advance!

Mike, Markus, and the GeoGebra Dev Team

We have some exciting announcements for you:

• GeoGebra 4.4 will be released on 1st December 2013. The main change is that the CAS View is much better & faster. You can already try our Release Candidate.

• On 1st of December, we will also switch GeoGebraTube to “HTML5 preferred”. This means that we will display materials using our HTML5 applets by default where possible, and deliver Java applets only for older browsers (like Internet Explorer 8). There are a few advanced things that are not fully supported in our HTML5 applets yet (e.g. some LaTeX commands), so please check your GeoGebraTube worksheets by clicking on “View as HTML5 Applet”. If you need help updating your worksheets, please ask in the forum.
  We have also added an option in GeoGebraTube to set the preferred applet type, so you can e.g. force an applet to still be shown in Java (Edit Material -> Advanced Settings -> Preferred Applet Type -> Default/HTML5/Java), however the future is definitely HTML5 😉

• If you are hosting GeoGebra applets on your own website, please see this important announcement to make sure these applets will continue to work well in the future also.
