Artificial intelligence (AI) and immersive technologies (VR, AR) are deeplyembedded in modern education and are becoming an integral part of it. The main feature of these technologies is that they allow you to make lessons interactive, making teaching methods more interesting and effective.One of the most important factors influencing the future of education at high institutions is the attitude and acceptance of teachers towards the use of these technologies in their educational practice. In this article, we will examine how successfully teachers' attitudes can be implemented in this process. While some teachers are ready to use new technologies, others may be skeptical. In this regard, the relevance of the study is to identify the possibilities of using new technologies in the process of teaching geography by analyzing teachers' opinions. To achieve the research goal, an 8-question survey was developed and conducted basedon the analysis of scientific articles and Google Forms.The survey was conducted among 116 university teachers, 77 of whom were women and 39 were men. The data obtained during the study were processed and analyzed using the SPSS Base software package.The survey results highlighted the key research questions and demonstrated the potential and challenges of AI, VR, and AR technologies in improving the quality of education.In the final section, the effectiveness and difficulties of introducing these technologies into the process of teaching geography are systematically analyzed, and scientifically based conclusions are drawn on their integration.
