This paper presents new, novel and useful Universal Design principles in the context of mobile augmented reality (AR) applications. The principles can be used in an evaluative and/or design setting. The design of the principles was undertaken through experience-based practice. The new universal design principles for Mobile AR were then tested in an evaluation with four well known educational-type AR applications found in the Google Play store. The results of the evaluation closely matched public user comments about each application. Further, the evaluative activity using the new principles fostered design solutions for the problems found in the evaluation. From our activity, the new principles are very useful. It is suggested that these principles, if used, will help to develop better and more user friendly mobile AR applications.
