You can get an inkling of it by watching "Panic Room," a 2002 thriller directed by David Fincher. It's sort of an homage to Hitch in a lot of ways, and it features some long travelling shots that Hitchcock would have loved.

Fincher is able to use computers to make the camera appear to pass through the handle of a coffee cup, among other things. It's the sort of fun gimmick Hitchcock loved to play with.

But by and large I don't know that Hitchcock would have had too much use for computers. Aside from North by Northwest, maybe, Hitchcock didn't really do a lot of big-budget action sequences.
