I also think that this topic belongs best in the flight test forum, but will leave that to John to decide whether to move it or not.
There are two different topics here I think: firstly how do you go about evaluating a cockpit? and secondly what are the technologies available for new and future cockpits?
Both are huge topics, for which there are numerous references, textbooks, course notes and suchlike that most people "in the game" have on the shelf. A quick search on Google Scholar shows up several thousands references, most of them in peer reviewed literature split between technology journals, ergonomic journals and suchlike. A quick search around the internet also shows numerous courses at places such as NTPS, Cranfield et.al. which include aspects of cockpit design.
So, to be frank, you may as well have asked "how do I go about designing an aeroplane", if anything, it's an easier question.
I suggest Badrace you might do worse than reconstruct your question - tell us what sort of cockpit (fighter, ultralight, part 23, part 25, part 27...) you are looking to assess, for what role - and probably ask the question in flight test where there are lots of people who have assessed lots of cockpits.
