skylight

We have hosted the application skylight in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about skylight:

Skylight is an open-source project that turns a ceiling into a real-time visual map of aircraft passing overhead. It decodes ADS-B signals from an RTL-SDR radio or can use a web API for testing without radio hardware. The system renders planes onto a ceiling-pointed projector so nearby aircraft appear to move across the room as they move through the sky. It also adds a live sky layer with the sun, moon, stars, constellations, planets, satellites, and the ISS based on the user�s location and time. A phone control panel lets users adjust rotation, themes, palettes, filters, and sky settings over a local network. Its main value is combining flight tracking, astronomy, projection art, and Raspberry Pi hardware into a practical interactive installation.

Features:

• Real-time overhead aircraft projection
• RTL-SDR ADS-B decoding support
• Optional web API flight data mode
• Phone-based local control panel
• Live sun, moon, and star layer
• Raspberry Pi appliance setup support

Programming Language: TypeScript.
