Click-to-track
Lock onto any aircraft, ship, satellite or fire. A tracked fire or vessel hands you off to the nearest live public camera in one click.
Hosted demo · Open-source edition
Aircraft, ships, satellites, earthquakes, weather and thousands of public cameras on one photorealistic globe — running in a browser, built entirely from open data and inspectable code.
The problem
Flight transponders, ship beacons, orbital elements, seismographs, weather models and city traffic cameras already describe a great deal of what is happening on Earth right now. Each lives behind a different feed, format and website.
Putting them in one place — at the right position, on real terrain, moving smoothly between updates that arrive every 15–30 seconds — is the hard part. That is the gap God's Eye View closes.
The product
The globe renders one interval behind real time and interpolates between known positions, so choppy feeds move smoothly. Click any contact and the camera locks on, draws its trail and surfaces its live metadata.
Lock onto any aircraft, ship, satellite or fire. A tracked fire or vessel hands you off to the nearest live public camera in one click.
Ride inside a tracked flight with real terrain under you all the way down, and jump plane-to-plane through a 250 km contact roster.
Re-render the live planet as CRT, night vision, FLIR thermal, Noir or Snow — keys 1–7.
Public traffic cameras from Austin to Hong Kong are projected into the 3D city, with estimated coverage volumes.
Forecast wind, rain radar, satellite clouds, lightning and cyclone tracks on one timeline — no account needed.
With an OpenAI or Gemini key: “Take me to LAX and select the nearest airborne aircraft.”
Replay the last 30 days of launches from countdown to orbit, labeled as reconstructed estimates.
Camera, style, layers and a tracked target serialize into a URL — a live handoff, not a bookmark.
Architecture
You are reading the static site. The live app runs separately, behind a PIN, with every private key kept on the server.
Requirements vs. completion
What this hosted edition delivers today, measured against what we set out to provide. Upstream features are the open-source project's; hosting rows are ours.
| Requirement | What was built | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Public overview and documentation site | This site, at gev.ed-edu.online | Built |
| Keyless live layers: flights, military traffic, satellites, earthquakes, cameras, weather, transit, radio | Upstream open-source app, unmodified | Built |
| Hosted, access-gated live app at gevapp.ed-edu.online | Server on our VPS behind a TLS reverse proxy with a PIN Being deployed | Partial |
| Photorealistic 3D cities and world terrain | Requires a Cesium ion or Google Maps key on the host Esri satellite + keyless terrain until a key is added | Partial |
| Live ships, active fires, live traffic speeds | Free provider keys (AISStream, NASA FIRMS, TomTom) Enabled per key on the host | Partial |
| Voice control and AI HUD summary | Metered OpenAI/Gemini key; per-IP throttles exist upstream Off on the public demo until a spend cap is in place | Roadmap |
| Industry editions (agriculture, apparel supply chain, airlines) | Same app, curated layers and scenes per industry | Roadmap |

Deployment notes
The site is static, self-contained HTML served by Vercel. The live app is the unmodified open-source Node server running on a VPS, bound to localhost and published only through a TLS reverse proxy that requires a PIN.
Provider keys stay on the server. The upstream server brokers every private key through a hardened proxy; only Google Maps and Cesium ion tokens reach the browser, and both are restricted at the provider.
Want your own copy? The open-source project installs in one click with Pinokio, from a terminal, or with Docker — see the documentation.
The demo is gated by a PIN. Ask us for one, then open it in any modern desktop browser.
