AI coder converts bedroom ceiling into a live ‘Flightradar’ using vibe coding

Can you use vibe coding to make something that can be deemed cool by plane spotters? One DIY enthusiast has shared one such example that the internet pleads to be commercialised and sold. The DIY creator has built a unique project, called SFO Ceiling Sky Projector, to track airplanes in ceiling projection in real time, flying over their roof – all thanks to some off-the-shelf parts and vibe coding.

The project, which seems like a commercially sold gadget at first, is entirely built at home, utilising a $30 RTL-SDR radio receiver, a projector, a Raspberry Pi computer and a vibe-coded software to make it all happen.
