flightglobal.com: Thales I-Deck used for prototyping A350 flight deck

From flightglobal.com, pictures of something that looks an awful lot like Matrix GFS:

Thales has released images of its I-Deck cockpit prototyping and simulation platform that it is using to develop the flightdeck for the Airbus A350.

Thales was selected in January over Honeywell and Rockwell Collins to supply the A350's six identical 15in (38cm) rectangular screens and the keyboard cursor control unit flight management system interface.

The company says that I-Deck has been used to fine-tune the different aspects of the cockpit configuration: "It allows us and future pilots to test rapidly new configurations and display systems within the cockpit."

Developed in Bordeaux, the I-Deck became operational during 2007 and is now located in Toulouse. Thales aims to exhibit the I-Deck at the Farnborough air show in July....

Thales says the I-Deck demonstrator is designed "to make the environment as real as possible to be able to validate certain functions within the cockpit, for instance the evolution towards the use of the large displays, the optimisation of information and improved situational awareness."
