1. What I see here is as cluttered as a modern passenger jet cockpit of the last century.

2. Touch and gestures imply a screen nearby like one's favorite ipad. This system is too far from the operator, the pilots must lean forward to work it. No go. Would Kinect or such function in a cockpit environment?
