Real-time geospatial fusion engine on an interactive WebGL globe tracking satellite orbits, live air traffic, and seismic activity.
Open-source geospatial intelligence is fragmented across disparate radar tracking APIs, orbital element catalogues, and geological feeds with varying coordinate systems and update rates. Rendering hundreds of heterogeneous moving entities concurrently in the browser often causes severe frame drops and high memory pressure. OpenWorldEye unifies live ADS-B flight feeds, SGP4 orbital propagation, and seismic monitoring onto a single hardware-accelerated 3D globe with client-side caching and fallback resilience.
- Orbital Propagation Engine: SGP4/TLE satellite propagation in real-time via
satellite.jswith browser-level element caching. - Flight & ADS-B Pipeline: Live air traffic tracking via ADSB.fi Open Data with rate-limit dampening and coordinate interpolation.
- Seismic & Geospatial Feeds: Real-time USGS earthquake feeds and tactical conflict telemetry.
- Hardware-Accelerated Visualization: WebGL globe rendering powered by
react-globe.gland Three.js with level-of-detail model management. - Resilient Fallback Layer: Deterministic offline simulations and cached state transitions to guarantee continuous visualization under API rate limits.
- Node.js 18+
