Sure, see https://blackhole.plav.in/ar_example.mp4 for an example. Should work on most Android phones, even old ones (mine is 7 years), the Chrome browser is generally best for AR.
Interestingly, Firefox seems to be better for the camera mode – for me, Chrome only gives one camera feed at a time, while Firefox allows both front & rear cameras.
And AR + camera warping don't work together, unfortunately – browser API limitations.
Okay either I'm stupid or not seeing the "relativistic effects".
This looks the same as on my device.
I was expecting some distortion or bending of the background?

So, you either choose AR and see the simulated emission from around the black hole, properly warped/boosted – but the camera feed remains flat, the browser itself does the overlaying.
Or, alternatively, choose the camera mode, and see the warping of your camera feed.
Not both at once!
