The following address gives a 360deg panorama of the A380
cockpit......rather brilliant on a 22in monitor.
Does not take long to download. Allows you to pan left and right as well
as vertical.

OK, that's a LOT more buttons and switches than in the Cessna 172!

What are the two large half dome shaped objects on the center console,
just below the keyboards, forward of the radio displays, and outboard
of the throttle handles? Seems like they would be in the way when
trying to use the keyboard, unless they're some odd kind of wrist
rest.

Is the camera on the aft rear ceiling for the passengers to watch the
cockpit, to record for the "black box" in case of a problem, or both?
