Explore the World in Real Time

God's Eye View is an interactive real-time 3D globe that visualizes publicly available geospatial data. Track live aircraft, ships, satellites, earthquakes, active fires, public cameras, and global radio stations on a photorealistic Earth.

Live Data Layers

• Aircraft: 11,000+ live flights via OpenSky Network and ADSB.lol (ADS-B transponders)
• Military Aircraft: Amber-highlighted military traffic from ADSB.lol
• Ships & Vessels: Global AIS tracking via AISStream
• Satellites: 838+ orbital objects including ISS and Starlink constellation (CelesTrak)
• Earthquakes: Real-time seismic activity from USGS (last 24 hours)
• Active Fires: NASA FIRMS satellite fire detections
• Public Cameras: ~3,600 traffic/CCTV cameras projected into 3D space
• Traffic & Transit: Simulated traffic on OSM roads + live transit feeds
• Radio: Geolocated global radio stations with analog tuner
• Space Missions: 30-day launch schedule with reconstructed trajectories
• Infrastructure: Datacenters, dams, submarine cables, military installations

How It Works

God's Eye View combines public data sources — flight transponders (ADS-B), ship beacons (AIS), satellite orbital elements (TLE), seismographs, and public camera feeds — into a single interactive 3D globe built with CesiumJS. The application runs in your browser using WebGL for photorealistic rendering.

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.

Open Source

God's Eye View is open source. The upstream project is maintained at github.com/bilawalsidhu/gods-eye-view. This deployment is a fork/rebrand for godseyeview.space.

Start without API keys. Optional keys unlock: Google 3D Tiles (Cesium ion), live ships (AISStream), fires (NASA FIRMS), voice AI (OpenAI).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is God's Eye View?

A real-time 3D globe visualizing public geospatial data: aircraft, ships, satellites, earthquakes, fires, cameras, and radio.

Is the data really live?

Most layers are live or regularly refreshed. Traffic is simulated. Camera poses and launch trajectories are estimates.

Can I track aircraft in real time?

Yes. 11,000+ live flights via OpenSky Network and ADSB.lol ADS-B data.

Can I view ships and satellites?

Yes. Global vessel AIS via AISStream. 838+ satellites from CelesTrak including ISS and Starlink.

Does it show earthquakes and fires?

Yes. USGS seismic data (24h) and NASA FIRMS active fire detections.

Is it open source?

Yes. Source code at github.com/bilawalsidhu/gods-eye-view (MIT License).
