It is using this piece of technology that controls the TARDIS's flight and from where the Doctor can check the conditions on the planet the TARDIS has landed on.
Over the years the TARDIS has had a variety of control panels along with an equal variety of control room decors. This is the basic default control panel used through most of the series between 1963 and 1989. Both the control room and control panel are far more sophisticated in the new series. The Doctor's TARDIS is a fairly old model, though we don't generally get to see more up to date models.
