Materials play an essential role in product design and affect many design aspects. Materials libraries are built by universities to provide resources and inspire design concept generation and decision-making. Augmented reality (AR) is a technology overlaying digital content onto the physical world and brings a new perspective on material library through increased engagement and interactivity. This work-in-progress paper aims to enhance materials education and foster disciplinary communication by establishing an AR materials library. The proposed library will contribute to design and engineering education by serving as a practical platform with material resources and a novel tool engaged in learning.
