For something that we all experience daily, sunlight can feel oddly personal – especially if you don\u2019t feel like you\u2019re receiving enough of it at the right time in your house. If you\u2019ve been in the market for new data<\/a> or a tool to help draw in real estate clients – or just appeal to your current ones – Shadowmap may be your saving grace.<\/p>\n

Shadowmap, a tool from creators George Molzer and Simon Mulser, is a deceptively simple product with some really cool applications: It allows you to map out solar shadows in any environment<\/a> using \u201c3D data in a worldwide interactive maps app.\u201d<\/p>\n

The base program itself is free for online use, and it\u2019s extremely easy to use. Simply typing in an address will take you to the property in question, at which point you can drag a slider to simulate the passage of time throughout the day.<\/p>\n

Shadowmap\u2019s \u201cPro\u201d subscriptions start at $14.99\/year and allows you to select specific dates (both past and future) as well as view high-definition visuals; you\u2019ll also receive updates as they come.<\/p>\n

Adding this to your toolbox could help convince clients who are on the fence about purchasing certain properties, and it makes for a powerful discussion piece when taking on new clients.<\/p>\n

Being able to tell someone exactly how the sun will illuminate certain sides of their property after only a few seconds of research is impressive, and it entails information that many consumers will want to hear whether or not it is at the forefront of their minds.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are plenty of applications for developers and casual designers, too. Product Hunt<\/em> cites several different users<\/a> proclaiming their joy at the creation of Shadowbox, from people who are excited at the idea of Feng Sui to relieved developers positing that the tool will make compliance easier to achieve.<\/p>\n

Employees who work in the elements are similarly intrigued: \u201cAs I work with Wine Imports the use-case for weather-sensitive products such as Ros\u00e9 are clear,\u201d says Andreas B\u00f8ggild.<\/p>\n

Of course, the technology is only as accurate as past weather conditions can dictate, but Shadowmap is a welcome alternative to standing in the garden and looking up at the sky for hours to see when the sun will finally hit the living room window.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Wow your clients: It seems like such a small detail, but for a client desperate to know where the sun and shadows are for energy efficiency, gardening, or what have you, this tool offers answers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":337375,"featured_media":17577,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[91],"tags":[1234,2227],"class_list":["post-17570","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-big-data","tag-real-estate-news","tag-shadowmap"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/shadowmaps.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17570","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/337375"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17570"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17570\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21306,"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17570\/revisions\/21306"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17577"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17570"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17570"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17570"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
