WorldWideView is a modular, real-time geospatial intelligence engine built on top of a CesiumJS 3D globe. It is designed to ingest live data streams, transform them through a generalized plugin system, and render them as high-performance visual layers.
As a real-time situational awareness platform, it turns raw geospatial signals—such as aircraft positions, maritime AIS, or satellite orbits—into interactive, cinematic layers on a high-fidelity 3D globe.
- Modular Intelligence: Every data source is a plugin. The core engine is data-agnostic.
- High-Performance Rendering: Engineered for scale using Cesium primitives to handle 100,000+ objects smoothly.
- Situational Awareness: Designed for real-time updates and cinematic visualization (orientated icons, smooth tracking).
- Extensible & Open: Add new intelligence layers without touching the core architecture.

cd worldwideview
npm install
npm run setup # generates .env.local with AUTH_SECRET
npm run devVisit http://localhost:3000 to see the live globe.
