It uses the information transmitted continuously by aeroplanes for air traffic control to determine the start and endpoint of their current journey, then recreates the view out the window from take off to landing using a modified version of Google Maps. The design of the Plane Tracker, echoing modernist &#8216;jet age&#8217; forms, also derives from the need to support the unusual antenna, which was designed by NASA Intelligent Systems to receive aircraft registration transmissions. The devices creates a situation highlighting air travel, an issue about which different people (frequent travellers, environmental activists, plane spotters) might have different opinions.<br><br>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/researchportal.northumbria.ac.uk\/en\/publications\/threshold-devices-looking-out-from-the-home\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/researchportal.northumbria.ac.uk\/en\/publications\/threshold-devices-looking-out-from-the-home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a> for a conference paper about the project.<br><br>Date: 2007<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/irs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/PT-01_2000px_72dpi.jpg\" alt=\"A photograph of the Plane Tracker in the living room of a participant\" class=\"wp-image-545\" srcset=\"https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/irs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/PT-01_2000px_72dpi.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/irs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/PT-01_2000px_72dpi-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/irs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/PT-01_2000px_72dpi-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/irs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/PT-01_2000px_72dpi-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1333\" height=\"2000\" src=\"https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/irs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/PT_Ulitimate_Tracker_shot-2-2_2000px_72dpi-1333x2000.jpg\" alt=\"A photograph of the front view of the Plane Tracker in a studio with a white background\" class=\"wp-image-544\" srcset=\"https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/irs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/PT_Ulitimate_Tracker_shot-2-2_2000px_72dpi-1333x2000.jpg 1333w, https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/irs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/PT_Ulitimate_Tracker_shot-2-2_2000px_72dpi-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/irs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/PT_Ulitimate_Tracker_shot-2-2_2000px_72dpi-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/irs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/PT_Ulitimate_Tracker_shot-2-2_2000px_72dpi-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/irs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/PT_Ulitimate_Tracker_shot-2-2_2000px_72dpi-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/irs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/PT_Ulitimate_Tracker_shot-2-2_2000px_72dpi-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1333px) 100vw, 1333px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Plane Tracker draws on information broadcast by passing aircraft to recreate the view of their journey, allowing people to travel along from the comfort of their sitting room.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":547,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-79","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorised"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/irs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/irs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/irs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/irs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/irs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/irs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1465,"href":"https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/irs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79\/revisions\/1465"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/irs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/547"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/irs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/irs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=79"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/irs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=79"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
