# Behemoth Arcade Games The Giant Google Xoom Labyrinth Steals the Show at Google I/O 2011 By Michael Hines | Published 2011-05-14 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giant-google-xoom-labyrinth References: [dvice](http://dvice.com/archives/2011/05/huge-xoom-contr.php) & [youtube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsTgrafIEfk&feature=player_embedded) [Google](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/katamari-damacy-1) I/O 2011 is a little too geeky for my tastes, but I can't help but be jealous at the herd of nerds who get to play with the giant Google Xoom labyrinth featured at the show. Google has built a massive labyrinth controlled by a [Motorola](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moto-g-play-2026) Xoom tablet running Android software, naturally. The massive labyrinth table works just like its smaller cousins, with players trying to guide a mall through a maze while trying to avoid the labyrinth's many pitfalls. In most real-world recreations of the game the ball is small, but in the giant Google Xoom labyrinth game, the ball is huge, taking the form of a bowling ball. The game itself is incredible to see in action, and the Motorola Xoom tablet is a really responsive controller. Check out the game in action in the video here. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Giant Interactive Installations:** Creating large-scale interactive installations that provide immersive gaming experiences. - **Tablet Gaming:** Developing games specifically tailored for tablet devices to enhance user experience. - **Immersive Technology:** Exploring the use of immersive technology, such as VR or AR, for gaming and entertainment purposes. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Gaming:** The gaming industry has the opportunity to embrace large-scale interactive installations and create unique gaming experiences. - **Consumer Electronics:** The consumer electronics industry can focus on developing high-performance tablets that enhance gaming experiences. - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can integrate immersive technology into gaming experiences to provide more engaging and captivating entertainment options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Game-Themed Browser Hidden Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/katamari-damacy-1.md) - [Digital Halloween Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pacmans-45th.md) - [Color-Blasting AR Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/can-you-beat-the-box.md) - [Blockish Oversized Stacking Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tetris-tumble-xl.md) - [Alien-Hunting AR Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taito.md) - [Android-Powered Gaming Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/logitech-g-gaming-handheld.md) - [Large Format Tablets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ktc-inch-android-display.md) - [Buildable Marble Mazes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-magic-maze.md) - [Interactive Gaming Cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rubiks-wowcube.md)
