My 2-year-old daughter recently became obsessed with airplanes.
Every day, she adorably asks me to find her planes in the sky, and she becomes delighted when I locate one for her.

Naturally, like all dads, I took it upon myself to do a bit of DIY.

Aviator is the result:
- Live Aircraft Radar: Track nearby planes in real-time
- Map Overlay: Toggle between the radar view or a detailed local map
- Customisable Colours: Personalize your display with your kids favourite
- Modern Retro: Marrying cutting-edge graphics shaders and haptics with old-school CRT display and radar beeps
