Lufthansa-Technik hopes to do away with the Nintendo-era airplane position displays we all know and love. By using real GPS data and satellite photos, Airtrack supplies a realtime view of the ground and surrounding airspace. The roll-out is pretty slow—just Air Berlin and an unnamed Middle Eastern line—but the system can render 2D and 3D images of the flight path and holds 40 hours of monitoring video. (Thanks, Bill)
