Hutchinson opened a 3D map of Las Vegas, similar to that of Google Earth and navigated through the Vegas skyline with the help of Xbox360 controller.

The cross-compatibility of various gaming gadgets and non-gamer devices is certainly a remarkable breakthrough to bridge up the PC and Xbox360 console gamers.

Meanwhile, a new mouse has been introduced that follows onscreen actions and respond to these moves.
