I built a ceiling projection mapping of the planes flying over my house (old.reddit.com)

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.

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.

(To be clear, the "I" in the title is not me, the submitter - it's the title of the Reddit post).

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'm sensing "The Conversation" levels of paranoia and it is beautiful.
