A spy-satellite simulator in your browser. Except the data is real.
God's Eye View™
The window through which we see our world.
Click any satellite, plane, ship or public camera and you can track it. Turn on FLIR mode and suddenly you're wondering, holy crap, is this real? And it's free, and open source.

01 What it does
The world is already broadcasting. We fuse it together into a 3D globe for you and your agents.
We've got a plurality of sensor systems watching the planet right now. Satellite imagery, flights, ships, weather, public cameras. Each captures a sliver of what's happening. God's Eye View pulls that treasure trove of public data into a single picture.
Ask the planet
Use voice to ask the planet questions in natural language, and it annotates the 3D globe with the answer.
Flights and vessels
Click on a satellite, plane, ship or public camera and you can track it.
Satellites
Toggle on different kinds of satellites, everything from GPS to Starlink.
Public cameras
Some layers, like traffic and camera poses, are estimates, and the app says so.
Cockpit
Visualize a flight from the third-person perspective and jump into a rendered cockpit view.
World class weather
Clouds, rain radar, lightning density and cyclone tracks with forecast cones. And since we say 4D, you can scrub the cloud imagery backwards in time.
Recent imagery
Draw a bounding box around a fire and it'll retrieve the Sentinel-2 images, draped on the 3D terrain. All keyless, ladies and gentlemen.
Transit
Click a bus in Boston and it starts leaving a trail. This might be the most overkill way to track your bus.
RF and SDR support
Now you can connect your own SDR and visualize everything you're detecting. The SDR nerds know all the other possibilities.
World radio
Ask for radio near anywhere and the globe starts broadcasting. Drag the tuner across up to 750 stations.
MCP server
We've built MCP access so your agents can query the same picture and add their findings to a shared canvas.
Director Mode
Draw outlines, sketch paths, drop your annotations on the map.

02 Story
This started as a mad science experiment that suddenly blew up.
It trended on X and got responses from some interesting people. Next thing you know, Iran happened. Bilawal reconstructed it in 4D. The questions we kept getting: when can I use this thing, and can I bring my own data to the party?
We knew you wanted the code. We expected two thousand stars. We didn't think this would happen.
Ever since we open sourced God's Eye View, it hit #1 on GitHub Trending, and so many of you have been installing it, making videos, and building on top of it. We're honestly overwhelmed by the support. Thank you. Every number here links to where it happened.

Questions
Is this the official God's Eye View website?
Yes. This is our official God's Eye View website, and the code is live on GitHub at github.com/bilawalsidhu/gods-eye-view.
Can I use God's Eye View online, without installing anything?
Everyone was asking, can I use God's Eye View online? So for everyone asking for a link they can just open, we're building an official hosted God's Eye View at Halfpixel. Sign up for the waitlist and get notified. Other sites offering a hosted or paid “God's Eye View” are not affiliated with Bilawal Sidhu or Halfpixel.
Is God's Eye View free?
Yes, free and MIT licensed. You can now start without API keys and add them for more features. Most layers need no keys; Google 3D and Gemini/OpenAI voice require additional setup. Many of the APIs we've selected have a very generous free tier as well.
Who makes God's Eye View?
Bilawal initially built God's Eye View over a weekend from his couch, back when it was called WorldView. Before that he was the product lead for Google's 3D model of the world, shipping things like Google Maps Immersive View and the 3D Tiles API much of this work is built on. Now the team at Halfpixel, which Bilawal co-founded with Sameh Khamis, builds it with all of you.
What data does God's Eye View use?
The public aircraft feeds come from a volunteer network, folks with software defined radios and little antennas receiving ADS-B signals from planes flying overhead. Add AIS ship beacons, satellite orbits, earthquake and fire feeds, weather models and radar, and public cameras. Some layers, like traffic and camera poses, are estimates, and the app says so. We don't pretend to know the truth about everything. Our job is to fuse public and commercial sources to get you as close to the ground truth as possible.
How do I install God's Eye View?
Simply point your AI agent of choice to the GitHub repository. Ask it to help you set everything up, including getting the API keys you need, and it'll guide you through the entire process. Or use the official one-click installer, Pinokio 8.2+.
