What you can do with it
- Track live flights, ships and satellites on a 3D globe and follow one from a cockpit view
- Ask by voice for satellite passes, counts and rankings of things such as dams or datacentres
- Record cinematic camera tours and share scenes or links to a specific view
Make money with it
Create short explainer or news-style videos using the globe's scenes and camera tours, and sell them as content or as a video service for clients.
An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.
Ways a business could use it
- Produce visually striking map and tracking footage for client videos, marketing or presentations
- Use the public data layers for basic location research, such as checking flight, shipping or weather conditions, without paying for a separate tracking service
Can you use it commercially?
Free to use, change and sell (MIT-style terms in the licence file). Some folders may carry other terms.
Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.
Getting it running
Install with one click through the Pinokio launcher on Windows, macOS or Linux, or run it locally from the terminal; no API keys are needed to start.
Follow the official instructions in the project README.
Things to check
- Licence is not clearly stated (NOASSERTION)
- Photorealistic 3D needs a Cesium ion token (personal, non-commercial use only) or a metered Google Maps key
- Some bundled data, such as the Nepal flood scene, is non-commercial only
- Relies on third-party public data feeds whose terms and availability may change
- Traffic, camera positions and launch paths are estimates, not exact data
