Living under an airport's takeoff path usually means complaining about the noise. A Redditor who goes by I_am_Root01 went the other way and built a ceiling projection that shows every plane passing over his house in real time.
A receiver picks up the ADS-B radio signals that aircraft constantly broadcast, and a projector throws a live map onto his ceiling, each plane labeled with its flight number and type.
He open-sourced the rig as a project called Skylight, which folds in the sun, moon, stars, constellations, and the International Space Station.
I live in the take off path of SFO and built a ceiling projection mapping of the planes flying over my house using ADS-B radio
