Altara is an open-source library of React components designed for real-time telemetry visualization in web applications. It addresses the need to embed advanced, interactive telemetry displays—such as flight instruments, LiDAR viewers, and industrial SCADA panels—directly within custom React interfaces, rather than relying on standalone observability platforms or generic charting tools. The platform is aimed at engineers working in fields like robotics, aerospace, autonomous vehicles, and industrial IoT, providing specialized visualization components tailored to these domains.
The library features a foundation of canvas-rendered components and includes a core package with real-time charts, gauges, attitude indicators, and dashboards. It offers a one-line ROS2 rosbridge adapter, allowing users to subscribe to sensor_msgs topics and pipe live data into visual components like time series charts and gauges. Altara's modular packages extend its capabilities: the aerospace package supplies eleven aviation-style flight instruments for drone ground stations and simulators, the autonomous vehicles package includes components for visualizing perception and planning data such as LiDAR point clouds and occupancy grids, while the industrial package delivers SCADA and HMI components styled for manufacturing and energy control use cases. Each package is embeddable in any React app and supports theming and data context management through the AltaraProvider.
Integration with ROS2 is supported via adapters for various sensor message types, including BatteryState, NavSatFix (GPS), Range, Temperature, and Imu (orientation). js), OccupancyGrid, SLAMMap, and overlays for object detection and path planning. The industrial package provides tools for FFT analysis, equipment effectiveness dashboards, alarm panels, PID tuning, and predictive maintenance gauges, among others.
Altara is distributed as a set of npm packages and is MIT licensed, making it free to use and modify. The library is not a replacement for full observability platforms but is intended for embedding real-time telemetry directly into custom React applications. Documentation and live demos are available, and the components can be explored via Storybook.
Altara sits in PulseGate's Frameworks & SDKs category. Enabling developers to embed real-time telemetry and visualization components in React applications. It is built as an open-source project for react developers in robotics, aerospace, and IoT. Altara is open source under the MIT license. The product ships for the web, the command line, and embeddable surfaces, and it can be self-hosted.
It is developed by JayaSaiKishanChapparam, and the product first shipped in 2026. Development happens publicly on GitHub with 67 stars and 43 commits in the last 90 days. PulseGate's similarity index finds few close equivalents — Altara occupies a relatively distinct niche. Key capabilities include telemetry components, flight instruments, and liDAR viewers.
