After a session of Global Magnates, friends spotted how live global data splinters across separate tools. Ships, aircraft, satellites, ports, weather, hazards, infrastructure, cyber, and other public datasets live in isolated maps. The idea sparked metiq.space, aiming to unify these streams on one platform today achieve.

The project builds a 3D globe where live public data can be plotted by latitude, longitude and altitude. Surface data stays glued to the sphere, while aircraft, satellites and other above‑surface objects appear in true 3‑D space instead of flat overlays. The result is an interactive view of Earth, air, sea, space, cyber, defense, infrastructure and politics.

Development now focuses on data filtering and deduplication to keep the globe responsive. As more datasets join—political borders, defense assets, cyber incidents—the tool promises a single pane of glass for analysts, planners and curious users alike. The platform demonstrates how layering heterogeneous live feeds into a unified 3‑D environment can streamline situational awareness.

Users can filter by category, time range, or geographic region, and the interface supports real‑time updates from public APIs. The project is open‑source, inviting contributors to add new data sources or improve rendering performance. Early feedback from hobbyists and GIS professionals has praised the tool’s clarity and the depth of context it adds to otherwise scattered information streams.
