seeUV
Weather
Free · Designed for iPad
seeUV uses weather data to simulate UV radiation from the sun, and augmented reality to show long-term skin damage if sun protection is not used.
UV radiation is the major cause of skin cancer, as well as sunburn, tanning and premature ageing.
But the problem is none of our senses can detect UV. It’s not like sunlight, that we can see, or the sun’s heat, which we can feel. As a result, we usually don’t realize how strong UV is until it has already damaged our skin.
seeUV uses local forecast data to display an augmented reality animation to help you understand the strength of UV radiation. Red rays simulate what strong UV may look like, while green rays simulate low UV levels.
Over time, UV damage causes wrinkling, spots and blotchiness. seeUV includes a face mask feature to simulate what this damage may look like.
Remember, UV damage is preventable by using good sun protection - slip on covering clothing, slop on sunscreen, slap on a broad-brimmed hat, seek shade and slide on sunglasses.

The application is intended to help educate about the presence of UV radiation. This is achieved by simulating the presence of UV radiation through an animation. It does not use the camera to measure or visualise UV radiation entering the atmosphere. UV level and temperature data is returned from the Bureau of Meteorology and the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency. UV data is only available for locations in Australia.
