Say hello to the iPad-controlled blimp

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.

What the hell are augmented reality cookies? Watch this video

At first glance these cookies aren't anything special, but wait until you hold them up to a webcam. Boom! There's a six-sided thingamajig growing out of the top of each one. Who says augmented reality is only good for advertising?

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.
