seeUV is a free iPhone app developed by Cancer Council Victoria in the Lifestyle category, specifically under the Weather subcategory. It aims to educate users about the presence and strength of UV radiation, which is a major cause of skin cancer, sunburn, tanning, and premature aging.

The app utilizes local forecast data to create an augmented reality animation that visually represents the intensity of UV radiation. By simulating red rays for strong UV levels and green rays for low UV levels, seeUV helps users understand the potential damage that UV radiation can cause to their skin. Furthermore, the app includes a face mask feature that allows users to visualize the effects of UV damage, such as wrinkling, spots, and blotchiness.

It's important to note that seeUV does not use the camera to measure or visualize UV radiation entering the atmosphere. Instead, it relies on UV level and temperature data provided by the Bureau of Meteorology and the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency. Additionally, the app only provides UV data for locations within Australia.

Overall, seeUV serves as an educational tool to raise awareness about UV radiation and the importance of sun protection. It is not intended as a diagnostic tool or medical advice, and users are encouraged to consult with qualified medical professionals for personalized medical needs.
