The present project, developed in collaboration between Tecnologico de Monterrey, Universidad de San Sebastián in Chile, and Universidad Católica de Colombia, introduces an advanced methodology for integrating emerging technologies in higher education. This methodology combines artificial intelligence, mixed realities, the Metaverse, and the Global Classroom program to enhance the teaching of the course “Formal Representation of Space.” The results show significant improvements in three-dimensional spatial visualization and student engagement, supported by pre-test and post-test data.
