Sure, your iPad can surf the web and run all sorts of fancy apps. But can it control a 52-inch blimp? I didn't think so.
A digital marketing team by the name of BreakfastNY fiddled with their iPad and were able to get it running said blimp. They also stuck a camera onboard that streamed a live feed to the iPad. Now I just want to know when this thing is headed to the App Store, although the logistics of downloading a blimp might be a barrier to it happening all that quickly.

While the cookies look straightforward, their assembly is anything but. The two-toned dough must be rolled out and assembled in an intricate pattern for that L-shaped design to appear on top. As soon as the webcam software detects that shape, it displays the 3D graphic of the maker's choice. Tasty.
