Future Directions

As the project continues, the basic-control-style user interface elements (dials, gauges, etc.) will be fully developed. PFD-style elements will be added relatively soon, since the design for one such element has already been completed. The HUD-style semi-transparent overlays will eventually become an important area of focus. Eventually, it should be possible to further abstract out the interdisciplinary design concepts being incorporated into the Flightdeck-UI. Hence, user interface elements produced later would (at some point) be expected to look less like the instruments from which they originated.
