You can see a FlightGear instance on the top right of the big monitor and Firefox on the left showing the EFIS. Both run on the same computer. Below the monitor are an old iPod touch (left) and a Nexus 7 (right), both running the EFIS as a web-app in full screen mode connected over WLAN. The EFIS in the FlightGear window is based on Canvas/Nasal. The other EFISes are 100% Nasal free, just HTML/SVG/CSS/JavaScript | You can see a FlightGear instance on the top right of the big monitor and Firefox on the left showing the EFIS.

FI = Flight Instructor (you sure know that), or FlightGear Interface. In Deutsch (my native language) the spoken FI sounds like the Greek letter | |||
Phi. And I like the uppercase letter of Phi for it's symmetry. It's vertical bar reminds me of the projector screen in a simulator, watched | |||
from both sides: the trainer and the trainee. For the less philosophical meanings of Phi, check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phi and pick the | |||
one that suits best ;-) | |||
