Built for photographers, architects, house hunters, gardeners, surveyors and solar panel installers — and for anyone who wants to know when the light hits. SOLAR PATH IN AR
 Augmented reality projection of the sun's position and full daily arc at your location. Point your phone and see where the sun will rise, peak and set. SOLAR ECLIPSE
 Sun Tracker AR gets you ready:
 • Interactive eclipse map with the path of totality and obscuration bands
