# Terminal (Globe)

The Vision Terminal is Glint's geopolitical intelligence layer — a 3D globe that visualizes global signals, military flights, and whale trades in real-time.

### Overview

While the feed gives you a linear stream of signals, the Vision Terminal gives you spatial context. See where in the world things are happening, how regions connect, and which areas are heating up.

### Globe View

The interactive globe displays:

* **News pulse dots** — Pulsing markers at the geographic origin of detected signals, color-coded by impact:
  * 🔴 Red = Critical (8px, fast pulse)
  * 🟡 Amber = High (6px, slower pulse)
* **Whale trade diamonds** — Diamond-shaped markers showing large Polymarket trades ($10K+):
  * 💎 Green ◆↑ = BUY position
  * 💎 Red ◆↓ = SELL position
  * Size and glow intensity scale with trade amount
* **Flight tracks** — ADS-B flight tracking data showing military and government aircraft movements, rendered as animated arcs across the globe

Hover over any dot to see a quick tooltip with the headline and impact level. Click to open the full signal card with matched markets.

Hover over a whale diamond to see the trader's wallet age and all-time PnL. Click to open the full trader portfolio.

### Layer Controls

Toggle different data layers on/off from the top-left panel:

| Layer            | What it shows                                  |
| ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| **Signals**      | Breaking news and social signal origins        |
| **Flights**      | Military/government aircraft movements (ADS-B) |
| **Whale Trades** | Large Polymarket positions on the globe        |

### Signal Ticker

The Signal Ticker scrolls across the top of the Terminal, showing the latest critical and high impact signals. Click any ticker item to zoom the globe to that signal's location and see the full details.

### Intel Brief

The Intel Brief gives you a daily intelligence summary including:

* Total signals detected
* Markets hit by signals
* Whale volume
* Top signals of the day

Copy or share the brief directly from the modal.

### Flight Tracking

<figure><img src="/files/q1zvZ4V8XcPMLi7DwAWG" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Glint monitors ADS-B transponder data to detect notable military and government aircraft movements. This includes:

* Military transport aircraft
* Reconnaissance flights
* Government VIP aircraft
* Unusual flight patterns (circling, diversions, formation flights)

Flight tracking data is overlaid on the globe as animated arcs. When a flight is associated with a known signal (e.g., military buildup), it's linked to the relevant feed card.

### Sidebar

The Vision Terminal sidebar shows:

* **Feed tab** — A condensed signal feed filtered to the globe's visible region
* **Whale Tracker tab** — Real-time whale trades ($10K+ Polymarket positions)
* **Flights tab** — Military and government aircraft detections

### Country Popout

<figure><img src="/files/jOUJjf3SVMyvrLqKPDOm" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Click on any country on the globe to open a popout showing:

* **Linked markets** — Top 3 Polymarket contracts related to that country, ranked by volume, with YES/NO prices and 24h change
* **Signal feed** — Recent signals from that country, filterable by impact level (Critical, High, Low)
* **Activity heatmap** — Visual density of recent signal activity

### Sidebar Stats

The Vision Terminal header shows:

* **Active Signals** — Total signals being tracked across all regions
* **Flights Tracked** — Number of military/government flights currently monitored

### Use Cases

* **Geopolitical trading** — Spot escalation patterns before markets price them in
* **Conflict monitoring** — Track military movements alongside breaking news
* **Macro context** — Understand the global picture behind individual signals
