God's Eye View is a browser-based, live 3D globe for exploring public spatial intelligence signals such as aircraft, ships, satellites, earthquakes, weather, cameras, and related overlays.
This is a JavaScript open-source project that presents real-world public data on a photorealistic 3D globe. The README describes it as a live spatial-intelligence interface for viewing and interacting with aircraft, ships, satellites, earthquakes, traffic, public cameras, weather, and more. It can run locally in the browser and offers optional keys for enhanced map and 3D provider access.
It solves the fragmentation problem of public world data by bringing many live or frequently refreshed sources into one explorable view. Instead of checking separate tools for flights, ships, satellites, weather, cameras, or quakes, users can move between global context and an individual target in one place.
Conceptually, the app layers public data feeds and map imagery onto a 3D Earth view in the browser. Users can search, click, track, and share targets; some features are driven by voice input, while others add camera, weather, and situational overlays. The README says some feeds are live, some are regularly refreshed, traffic is simulated from aggregate location data, and certain camera poses or launch trajectories are only coarse estimates.
It appears to be gaining attention because it combines a dramatic, cinematic presentation with real public data and includes several highly shareable features like voice control, shareable scenes, and a globe-spanning cockpit-style interface. The README also highlights strong social momentum from the project behind a viral video series, plus recent recognition on GitHub Trending, Product Hunt, and by notable figures mentioned there.
The README does not name direct competitors, but the closest alternatives are separate tools for flight tracking, ship tracking, satellite tracking, weather visualization, earthquake maps, public-camera browsing, or generic GIS and 3D globe platforms. Compared with those, this project's distinction is that it combines many of those views into one browser-based globe with voice and sharing features.
