UVue
UV visualization booth — shows beachgoers where sunscreen is applied (and where it isn’t) using a mirror-based UV camera system powered entirely by sunlight. Photo-booth-style kiosk for beaches, resorts, and pools.

Maturity
Stage: Concept and research. The hardware approach is specified, prior art is documented, and the business model is scoped. No prototype has been built, no unit has been deployed, and the go-to-market path (who buys the first booth) is unresolved. Prior art confirms demand is real; execution is the open question.
