Open-source AI tool maps flights, ships and satellites on a 3D globe

In this video, Matt Wolfe interviews developer Bilawal Sidhu about God's Eye View, an open-source project that compiles public data feeds—like flight tracking, ship positions, traffic cameras, and NASA fire detections—into a single interactive 3D globe. Sidhu explains how he built the tool using AI assistance and demonstrates its voice-command features for navigating and querying real-world data.

The conversation covers practical details, including how some data sources are free for personal use while others require paid API keys. Sidhu also shows examples of people using the tool to reconstruct real-world events, such as rocket launches, from the layered data.

Wolfe walks viewers through installing and running the tool on their own computer, positioning it as an accessible way for hobbyists to experiment with combining open data and AI interfaces.
