With the rapid development of digital technologies, education continues to be transformed, especially design education. Augmented Reality (AR) has emerged as a unique technology that can transform learning experiences across diverse disciplines. This paper outlines the development of a mobile-based AR (MAR) application for learning Industrial Design (ID) subjects. The discussion focus on Industrial Design education. Therefore, the objectives of this paper are to develop a prototype of a MAR application for Industrial Design subjects as a learning tool and to investigate the impact of the MAR application on undergraduate industrial design students' engagement. The paper reviews existing research on the topic, compiles secondary data, and discusses theoretical approaches. The prototype development of the MAR application involved conducting classroom observation, requirement analysis, and design modifications based on the content of the ID program. This analysis helped inform the design and development process, ensuring that the application aligned with the specific needs and objectives of the learning subject. In the results of this study, there was a significant difference between the formative and summative evaluations of the MAR application.
