Google is rolling out a tool that lets Android users view moving animals which make sounds in augmented reality through their device’s camera.

It currently only works with some animals but could be expanded to include objects and brands in future.

It was unveiled last month at the firm’s annual event for developers who create apps for Android devices.

Devices which currently support it include specific models by Huawei, Samsung, LG and One Plus.

Apple also supports a wide range of Augmented Reality applications and while some iPhone users appear to be able to access this feature, others cannot.
