Who made the screenshots and banners?

We did. The screenshots are captures of the Sunreach app, and each banner is drawn by the site's own scripts from the app engine's numbers for that place.

Maps in the screenshots: Mapbox (© Mapbox © OpenStreetMap) and Apple Maps. Terrain and lidar credits are on About the data.

Is the AR picture a real camera view?

No, it is an illustration. The overlay, controls and times are the app’s own AR screen, drawn in the iOS Simulator over a photo instead of a camera feed.

The photo is Lago di Braies South Tyrol 7 by kallerna, CC BY-SA 4.0. We cropped it, extended the sky upward and the foreground downward, and reshaped the ridge band slightly so that it follows the skyline the app computes from 40 m terrain at the photo’s location. The illustration is shared under the same licence.
