"Skyward Bound: Merging Technology and Nature with ADSB Flight Tracking"

San Diego-City Heights

Jan 25, 2025 - 10:07am

Start of the Adsb journey

The scene centers around a detailed view of a computer screen, showcasing various applications that appear to be part of an ADSB (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) data setup, hinting at an individual's journey in exploring aircraft tracking technology. The screen is divided into multiple windows. One window lists a folder named 'Downloads,' containing various files like 'blade.stl,' 'blade.scad,' 'test.scad,' an acoustic medley mp3 file, and tax return documents, indicating a mix of projects and personal finance tracking. Another section contains technical information related to software libraries such as 'libavutil,' 'libavcodec,' and others with associated version information, suggesting software development or application support. Below these windows is a console-like application displaying real-time flight data including hex codes (a2a823, aa9d55, etc.), flight names, altitudes, speeds, and geographical coordinates. The data represents various aircraft in flight, with some entries showing altitudes and ground tracks while others have placeholder values like zero. The broadband nature of this setup suggests the use of a hardware or software-defined radio to capture ADSB signals. The backdrop suggests natural outdoor lighting with some reflections, showing that the computer could be outside, perhaps near a forested area.

Future improvements for the system include adding a foot pedal as a USB input device to reduce reliance on the right hand, which is currently unergonomic. The user finds it challenging to perform logical thinking and code-related tasks without using the right hand, possibly due to underutilization of a part of the brain. Other possibilities involve making the system more agential, such as allowing commands to be sent, observed, and modified in real-time. Visual interactions, like popping up and closing windows based on gaze detection, are also intriguing, especially if using Moondream for gaze tracking. The user is eager to test these enhancements with both hands.
