ShadowWalk uses AR and real-time sundial tracking to map the most shade-efficient routes through your city. Turn summer strolls into a strategy game.
START WALKINGUrban heat islands make city walking unbearable in summer. Asphalt radiates heat, and shade patterns change constantly throughout the day. Traditional maps don't tell you where the shade WILL be in 20 minutes.
You point your phone at a tree-lined street and see animated shade ghosts flowing across the pavement. You watch where shadows WILL be in 20 minutes, then suddenly you're playing Pac-Man with shade—racing along a route that keeps you perfectly cool as shadows sync with your walk in real-time.
Real-time solar position calculations predict exact shade patterns for any time, adjusted for building heights and tree canopy density.
Preview routes 15 minutes ahead through AR. See shade ghosts flow across streets before you take a single step.
Every route gets a shade efficiency score. Compete with friends to find the coolest paths through the city.
City parks departments and urban planning firms pay $2,000-8,000/year for shade-mapping data to optimize tree placement.
