It collects publicly available aircraft radio signals, vessel AIS data, and satellite orbital data in real time and visualizes them on a photorealistic 3D Earth. No separate account is required, and the application runs directly in the browser. While existing open-source intelligence tools were limited to simple tab listings, this project integrates signals into a single interface, creating a 'place'.

Users can experience the cockpit view inside tracked aircraft and switch the display to various sensor modes such as NVG and FLIR. It provides a feature to list all targets within a 250km radius and enter the cockpit of a specific target with a single click. Areas without real-time data are clearly marked as simulations to maintain information reliability.

Voice commands can be issued through a real-time AI agent. The agent recognizes the coordinates of the current view and active layers, answering questions about specific targets based on live telemetry data. The entire app functions normally even without an OpenAI key, with only the voice feature disabled. Developers are provided with an open-source environment where they can directly review and extend all code.
