 🌍 Why This Exists

God's Eye View brings public signals into one explorable globe. Track the world live. Talk to it. Break it. Extend it.

Flight transponders, ship beacons, orbital elements, seismographs, and public cameras already tell us a lot about the world. God's Eye View puts them in the same place, so you can move between a global picture and an individual aircraft, ship, or street. It runs locally in your browser, with source code you can inspect and extend.

 Half the magic is that it looks like a forbidden cockpit. The other half is that every line of code is inspectable.

Most feeds are live or regularly refreshed. Traffic is simulated along real
roads using aggregate location data. CCTV camera poses and rocket launch
trajectories are coarse estimates.

Start with the included data sources, then add your own. Each layer is a separate module.

 🎛️ What This Thing Does

- 🛩️ Cockpit view: Ride inside a tracked flight — the camera holds the terrain under you all the way down.
- 📡 Contacts: A 250 km roster of everything near your target — step through live aircraft and drop into any cockpit.
- 🎯 Click-to-track anything: Camera locks on, draws a fading trail, surfaces full metadata — and a tracked fire or vessel hands you off to the nearest live camera in one click.
- 🖊️ Voice whiteboard: Speak annotations onto the world — real boundary polygons, marks, and routes.
- 🛫 3D hangar: Real per-class aircraft models — 787, ATR-72, Citation, Bell 206, MQ-9 — and a tracked contact swaps from glyph to 3D model as you close in.
- 🎨 Reskin reality: GLSL sensor looks over the normal globe — CRT, NVG, FLIR/thermal, Noir.
- 🟩 Detection overlay: Screen-space bounding boxes and IDs on everything in view.
- 🎖️ Military HUD: Tactical heads-up display with intelligence-style telemetry.
- 🌐 Global Context: Stage the full situational picture with one switch — and get your exact view back when you leave.
- 🎥 Scene director: Capture cinematic camera tours for cl
