Description:

Provides both a FLAT VIEW COMPASS and an AUGMENTED REALITY CAMERA 3-D VIEW showing the solar path, its hour intervals, its winter and summer solstice paths, rise and set times and more.

Ideal for
- Real Estate Buyers - for finding the sun exposure of properties you are considering
- Gardeners - for finding optimal planting locations for current and seasonal solar exposure
- Photographers - for planning optimal light conditions
- Architects - for getting a feel for the spatial variability of the solar angle throughout the year

Main Features

- Flat compass view showing current solar position, diurnal solar angle and elevation (separated into day & night segments), shadow length ratio, atmospheric path thickness
- 3D augmented reality camera overlay view showing the sun's current position, its path with hour points marked
- Camera view also has an optional pointer to guide you towards the current location of the sun
- Ability to choose any date and view solar path for that day
- Additional details including rise, set and culmination times, maximum elevation
- User option to include summer and winter solstice paths on both flat compass view and camera view

Notes
- The compass accuracy depends on having an undistorted magnetic field around your device. If you use it close to metallic objects or electrical equipment, directional accuracy may be impaired.
- The compass accuracy is also reduced when the device is aligned with the local magnetic field vector, so there may be portions of the 3-D view where results are less reliable.
