I'm a big fan of minimal interfaces. But I guess minimal interfaces are good for the web user who is looking at your web app for two seconds before deciding whether to keep looking or move on.<p>This actually looks like a pretty effective interface for users who are willing to be trained for months. Think about it: after you are trained, every piece of information is just one glance away and every action is just one button click away.<p>I'd love to hear an opinion from an expert, though. <i>sinks back into his armchair</i>

I chuckled when rotating the image and seeing the Dell laptop in the back.

The biggest "user interface" feature I noticed wasn't the buttons -- it's that there's velcro, and lots of it, <i>everywhere.</i> Well done.

Interesting, thanks for the link.<p>I guess this is similar to what non-programmers see when looking at source code: An impenetrable mess of gobbledygook where it would require months or years of dedicated effort to figure out what the different commands actually do.

Well so much for heads up displays.<p>That was a cool shot of the shuttle I've never seen before. I wonder how many of those controls are redundant systems you only need to touch if they light up?

Well, user interface is full of short-cuts, which makes sense considering pilot would not have time to flip through pages to execute a command.<p>The seats look awfully uncomfortable, though.

Not really all that different from an jet airplane cockpit. I'm an aviation enthusiast, btw.

Weird how they assume the pilot is left handed...
