Davids Eye View

Case study

It looks like a spy-satellite console, and then you realise every signal on screen is public and real. Davids Eye View pulls flight transponders, ship beacons, orbital data, seismographs and public cameras onto one photorealistic 3D Earth, so what normally takes a dozen browser tabs becomes a single place you can explore. Pick a target and the camera locks on. Ask it a question out loud and it answers and moves. It runs in the browser with no sign-up, and this version is tuned to load and move faster and adds more map styles and new features.

• —Click anything to track it: the camera locks on, draws its trail and shows its details, then hands you to the nearest live camera
• —Ride in the cockpit of a live flight, or step through every aircraft within 250 km of a target
• —Hands-free voice control: speak commands and draw routes, marks and borders onto the map
• —Switch the whole view to night vision, thermal, CRT or noir looks, with a military-style heads-up display
• —More map choices: Google photorealistic 3D, Esri, Bing, Carto, OpenStreetMap and NASA imagery
• —Share a link that reopens the exact view, layers and tracked target
