I believe it's the lost submarine that's gone to the Titanic. The controller in the image is what's used to control the submarine.

Aha. I thought it was a video game controller.

A lot of US military equipment runs on Windows and has tight integration with xbox controllers. They can be found inside nuclear submarines and controlling drones. The ones the military uses are wired. Here you have a controller running on batteries and communicating through Bluetooth, which famously works perfectly in harsh conditions and under water.
