It's important to remember that the 2D panel is 3D -- we just happen to keep it flat on to the viewer. The new panel would be similar, and best practice would be to build a flat surface with a lot of instruments then transform the whole thing to the right position; except for the final transform, the coordinates could still mostly be 2D as they are at present, except that you'd use real-world measurements (meters) rather than idealized screen coordinates.
