iPad-Controlled Blimps

Breakfast NY Showcases Touchscreen Controller at Design Week

Breakfast NY has created and debuted an iPad-controlled blimp during Design Week. Why? Because they can. Ever since the launch of the Apple iPad, just about everyone and their sister wants a piece of the action. (Whether or not they know exactly what to do with it is another question.)

The iPad is designed to run an app that can access the blimp's video signal and control its movement using the iPad's accelerometer. Be sure to check out the video and gallery for more of the Apple iPad-controlled blimp.
