In addition, most of the existing applications are limited to students in elementary level, and it is also lack of attractive features. Therefore, in this work, the main aim is to develop the augmented reality mobile based application for UPM international students to learn Malay language by implementing university elements in the proposed application. The application was developed in android platform, and were developed by using Unity 3D and Vuforia. For the evaluation purpose, the target users were identified and the questionnaire was used to evaluate users' satisfaction. Based on the survey, it shows that about 88% target users are satisfied with the proposed application. This shows that the proposed application could be used to learn Malay language for international students.
