Read More10 very cool augmented reality apps (that aren't design or shopping tools)
Augmented reality is having a moment on Android. Thanks to ARCore, which now works on more than a dozen device models—Google says that's more than 100 million individual devices—we've seen a ton of new applications that insert virtual objects into our real surroundings. A lot of them are shopping and interior design apps, which makes sense—AR's ability to make items appear in your home is a great way to see what a couch looks like in your living room without actually lugging it in there. But AR can do so much more. Here are 10 augmented reality apps that are useful, fascinating, or just plain cool.

Read MoreThe Galaxy S7 Rumor Breakdown: What's Plausible, What Isn't, And What We Still Don't Know
The Galaxy S7 is coming.
