This paper is aimed to present the design and development of Augmented Reality (AR) book based application for collaborative learning purposed. AR interfaces contain a rich and complex type of object and interaction. The concept of co-existence of virtual information and physical objects of AR enhance the learning environment. However, the potential of AR to support collaborative learning is just begin to be explored. To design and develop an effective AR book based learning application; social interaction, communication and engagement are considered as key successful factors in developing an application to support collaborative learning process since collaboration involves the mutual engagement of group members in social interaction where the collaborators shared their knowledge and skills to achieve or solve the problem together. © 2012 IEEE.
