How much of the world can you track using nothing but public data? God's Eye View is an open-source spy satellite simulator that brings live flight tracking, AIS ship positions, satellite orbits, and public surveillance cameras together on one interactive 3D globe. Using JavaScript, CesiumJS, ADS-B, and public APIs, this GitHub project creates something that looks like a government intelligence platform. You can run it locally, explore the world in real time, and even connect AI agents through MCP. Some information is delayed, simulated, or estimated, but what this project reveals about publicly available tracking data is incredible.
