Our changing Earth.
Day and night, a rotating globe, satellite pictures, aurora, magnetic activity, and recent earthquakes.
Daylight, always moving.
The wider world. A little closer.
A live window
on Earth
and space.
Follow daylight across the planet, see tonight’s Moon, and catch a moment worth looking up for. Skywall brings a changing view of the wider world into your room.
Working prototype. First batch planned: about ten.
Earth. Space. A moment to pause. A small display with a wider view
01 / The display
A little more wonder
in your day.
On a shelf or on a wall, Skywall quietly cycles through views of Earth and space. A changing patch of light in your room. A reason to stop for a moment, and see what’s out there.
02 / What it shows
One small frame.
An ever-changing view.
From the ground beneath the space station to the changing face of the Moon. A few ways to feel a little more connected to the world beyond your window.

Example image
The sky tonight.
The Moon’s phase and local alerts for possible aurora and predicted visible station passes.
A familiar sky. A different night.
Example image
A view from orbit.
Follow the space station’s position and see the ground beneath it. A fresh perspective on home.
Somewhere above us.
Example image
The wider solar system.
Images of the Sun, Earth’s seasons, and the planets’ current positions in the real display’s cycle.
Our nearest star, seen anew.

A reason to look up
Sometimes, the
best view is outside.
When a visible space-station pass is predicted for your town, Skywall can give you a countdown and a direction to look.
Clouds and local conditions affect visibility. A prediction is an invitation to look, not a guaranteed sighting.
A window into the window
A glimpse of what’s showing.
The web preview shows the pictures. The real display gives them their pixel texture, scale, and glow.
The preview could not be loaded. An illustrated sample is shown below.

03 / Made in small batches
Made with care.
And curiosity.
I’m building Skywall myself. The display hardware works, and I’m developing the 3D-printed frame. I’m planning a first batch of about ten, with feedback from the people who bring them home.
One working prototype.
A small beginning.

The first ten, give or take
Be there for
the first batch.
Leave your email and I’ll share the finished design, price, service details, and availability when they’re ready.
The practical things
Good questions.
What does Skywall need?
Home Wi-Fi and power. Skywall receives prepared images from an online service using public scientific sources.
How big is it?
The LED panel is 128 × 64 pixels, approximately 26 × 13 cm, behind a smoked diffuser. Those are the panel dimensions; the outer 3D-printed frame is still being developed, so its finished dimensions are not settled.
Is it ready to buy?
A working prototype exists. The first batch of about ten is being developed. Price, availability, and shipping dates will be shared when they’re ready.
How much will it cost?
The price is still being worked out. Join the waitlist to hear the details before deciding.
Can I give it as a gift?
Skywall is being designed for your home or as a thoughtful gift. The recipient will choose their town during setup for local alerts.
Does it depend on an online service?
Yes. Fresh pictures and alerts require the service I run. The included service period and terms will be disclosed before purchase.
Are alerts guaranteed?
No. Predictions and viewing conditions can vary. Possible aurora, predicted visible station passes, and large earthquakes can interrupt the normal cycle, but alerts do not guarantee a sighting.
