The repo subtitle is `Project the aircraft passing overhead onto your ceiling, in real time — an X-ray through the roof.` The demo video starts outside pointing at a cloudy sky with an airplane passing overhead. My mind, seeded with the word "x-ray", thought the outside shot was the video projection on his ceiling. I thought his rain gutters were crown molding, and when the camera man runs inside, I thought he was running outside to show the real life airplane. The actual projection is neat, but how fun would it be to have an x-ray projection of the night sky. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Random aside: there’s a restaurant in San Diego on the SAN flight path with a split flap display over the bar. Every time a flight passes over it updates to show flight number and departure airport. It’s quite neat. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I bought several 3b+ Raspberries a really long time ago and this seems like the perfect simple&breathtaking project for such ancient hardware. Who needs a fourth PiHole on their local network?! "Fortunately" I live directly beneath CHA's main landingstrip, so lots of regular data available. Fortunately, I am not in the main takeoff path because that would be much worse. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Wow so cool! I had daydreamed about doing something similar with e-ink display on my wall so I could see details about whatever plane I'm hearing.. but this blows that out of the water. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I expect to have trouble falling asleep just vicariously relating to the noise level there. Awesome project though. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
